Default Been Bored On Spring Break...Interior and Power :P

I screwed up a tiny bit so I will be re-doing it...I was wondering do you guys like the color or is it too much?
If so I think I may go with just a glossy black next time...As I wasn't patient and smudged it where you connect them together *sigh*






Vroom Vroom baby this thing has a nice prr ...Put it on myself as well haha I am so handy man status.
Some guy in a auto tc with an exhaust and injen intake (as indicated on his windows) tried to race me...I was also wondering manuals are faster than autos right? Cause I spanked him pretty decently...

Id rather not close up it until I redo it...
I am really **** about painting and seeing as I got a little bit of a smudge mark near the part where the shifting part and the center console is I will not show it or else I will get all paranoid haha

...only cost 10 bucks too...
and once it dries...(MAKE SURE YOU WAIT a day)...Its as hard as a rock and glossy....

Just don't be ignorant like me...

and make sure you sand with 320 grit

after it dries for the day dont go with 320, thats way to much. I actually only wetsand my errors in paint with 600 and even then it is careful because the paint wears away fast. Then wetsand with 1000 grit and use compounds and buff it to a smooth mirror shine...

But yea as you said never rush paint. If you're patient it should come out good.

Good luck and let me know if you need any other help with it to get the professional shine like I do with my work..

Leather paint my family makes haha.
I figured Id try it out...It sticks and stay nice...except gets dirty once you instantly touch it...not because of the paint but because it is of course white haha.

Thanks much for the info probably good I didnt do that yet...
I was actually wondering what grit would be better if I had already painted it and wanted to re-paint it to get those messed up parts done well.
