i want to paint my interior and just from looking around this is what i gathered:

you need a primer, then the paint, and then a clearcoat. most people used VHT brand paints. does VHT make all 3 steps? and then you also need to sand between steps correct?

 

You should PM n2htwlz, he painted my interior about 2 months ago and no problems as of yet and it is HOT in AZ. He may be able to give you some pointers. Good luck.

 

I bought all my supplies from www.paintscratch.com. I wanted it to match the body color so I figured I might as well get the good stuff while I was getting the color.

Sand
Primer
Sand
Paint
Clear
Buff
Wax
Enjoy

 

phoenixtc i think it would have looked nice if you did the guage trim rings as well

but opinions are like @$$holes everyones got one... some just stink

 

save a step and get single stage paint. it has the clear in it. when it dries the clear comes up to the surface. did it in my xB about 10 months ago with no problems.

 

how did he trim off the stuff that wasn't being painted?

 

hahahahaha....well put!

 

A lot of that console comes apart in pieces. What he could not take apart he taped.
