^^^ Sweeet!

 

looks like my old interior! jus done soooooooo much better then the one I did haha

 

If you were to clear that the right way...it'll just pop like crazy!

 

placing order for the paint and clear this week. I can't wait, I hope the rest of my interior turns out even half as good as the way ur gonna do the waterfall lol

 

clear it the right way? i havent sanded/buffed it yet(dont think i will actually) what did i do wrong?

 

Hey Man,

Just wanted to say great job on explaining and showing how to paint the interior "waterfall," I've been brain storming this for a while. But now I totally see and know how to do it.

 

nahh he didn't say u did a bad job, he jus means if u were to use the clear he used (which is a hardener and clear) it would be really glossy!

 

ohh...I am actually happy with the non-glassy look that i didnt mean to achieve. I didnt see that their was a difference in the clear i thought I followed directions to a T.

 

When Kennon says "pop," it really does POP.

I mean, literally the first words out of your mouth are, "oh wow, its so glossy!" Plus you can see your reflection!

 

In the process of painting my interior parts, Made a trip to my uncles old paint body shop. Thinking of buying some of his patent "Roth Flake," will post pics as soon as painted. Does anyone know where I can get a cheap Hobby Auto Air Brush, prefer to use this instead of a canned paint. Especially when using a clear coat....

 

looks great

 

cheapest i found the clear you use is $22 a can :/ I was going to use it to rattlecan my CF hood (since the only shop that will reclear CF wants $450 to reclear my hood).

Thats where i ordered mine from.

 

I can get the Devilbiss Dagger airbrush kit for $45 at the paint shop I go to.

 

^so what do you recommend to those that had previously painted the interior with less then stellar results?

should i sand all the way down to the plastic?
only sand the clear coat and work off the paint base?
throw it away and buy new pieces (i hope not) lol

im gonna be using the clear you use and buy a can of automotive paint in a can (im gonna do flint mica) as well as the primer and adhesion promoter that you used will one can of each be enough?

 

Honestly? I would get all new interior pieces.

 

any reason? other then to guarantee results? lol

 

Because different paints/materials don't mix. It might look good for a few days, but after that...it'll look horrible.

 

Hey flea, are you still doing paint jobs for interior pieces? I want my waterfall/center console done but I cant afford to not have it sent out.

Maybe core exchnage?

 

Plus it's a serious PITA to wet sand down pieces that were done ok at first.

I find it easier to start with a fresh slate, as opposed to messing with things that weren't done properly at first.
