looks nice i gotta get me one of those. Thanks

 

Who or where can I get color matched paint for my waterfall and all the silver plastic pieces? I'm really interested in doing this, about how much does it run?

 

most body/paint shops will do it
or u can do it yrself if u got the patience and tools

usually doesn't run more than 75 or so

 

I'd like professional quality and I'm too dumb and not patient enough to take apart all that stuff and do it, I'll look into it. Thanks!

 

wow you paid quite a bit. i paid 50 total shipped w/ a bottle of touch up and a large can of the aerosal color matched paint. but ya it takes patience. that is why i am still debating doing mine.

 

I actually paid nothing since my ex sponsor did it for me. But that's usually how much they would charge in this area ;)

 

but not sure thats why i said not more than 75 so 75 or less

 

oh ok. i'd just got it ordered from an online store that a contact told me about.

 

nice pix guys, I'm gonna paint my interior too

 

Im gonna jump off topic for a minute here- but since we are talking about types of paint and all... I'm doing the insides of my headlights in super white. will store bought paint be enough to hold up to the heat / constant sun? im more worried about fading quickly into a yucky yellow than I am about cracking. Anyone have any input on this?

 

Okay so there is still no official DIY thread for this mod.
If anyone is willing to PM me the general instructions as to how to get the pieces off i will be more than happy to take pics and do a formal write up when i do this mod.

NOTE: I already know about sanding, painting, etc, i just need general instructions as to how to get the parts off.
ALSO: My DIY will not be up for a couple weeks, because my car is currently in the shop till Mon (Supposedly) and i will prob have to do this in seperate parts due to lack of time.

 

What parts do you need help getting off? They are all pretty straight forwards. Let me know and I'll post somethin about it

edit: there a several threads about how to get the center pieces off. The automatic shift **** mod thread had some. I will try to take pictures of some of the pieces shortly

 

just everything in general. im sure they really easy, id just rather have rough guidelines so i dont break anything.
The 2 Pieces on the steering wheel.
The Center Counsel.
HVAC
The Piece where you can put extra switches.(IDK what its called)

 

Heres mine

 

You're right. someone needs to put up something. I will be that someone! *captain morgan stance*

 

well if you dont beat me to it, like i said, ill do a thourogh Write up w. pics in about a week or two.

 

Ive never seen this before. I really like how you did it, especially how it by default blends in with the other red pieces of the car [buckle, lock] I really like the stripe idea. nice work man

 

^ Looks good!

 

Retro, that is one of the cleanest interior setups I have seen in a long time. I am one for making cleaner changes and tying it all together, and this definitely does that. The emblem on the dash isnt really my cup o tea, but a very nice setup nonetheless! Good work!

 

wow I love ur interior retrojay, I was gonna do black in the center and red on the side (dash) but ur stripe setup looks awesome. How did u do that? Paint black with masking tape on for stripes and then take off the tape and paint red?
