Should have spent a lot more time on the painting. Thinner coats, but more of them. Then wet sand it a lot, more layers, etc. The fabric really doesn't go with the whole theme of anything, plus it sould have been pulled tighter so that there aren't wrinkles. Just suggestions, I am not flaming. Everyone has their own style.

 

finally got done with the paint here are pics

still need to throw in the gauge cluster but you get the idea

painted FM:

lol almost looks gree, i'll take good pics tomorrow when its nice and sunny

 

Looks Good Man!

 

The suede shifter boot looks really nice with the FM paintjob man. Good job Ben. You are gonna have to help me out when I paint my stuff in the next few days.

 

Yeah, I know, it was my first try it took me hrs to do since it was one piece and glue gun dries quick. that's the color of my car, so it does go. the painting, i didn't do it so i don't want to complain... so yes, i need to sand it and do it over.. appreciate you being honest.

 

looks a lot better now that i put the trim piece in

 

How do some of you put in the suede on the door frabic? i took the door apart and it doesnt look i can remove it. looks the plastic is melted on. ??

 

yep gottta cut off the plastic welds.

 

how would i go about "re-welding" them? I just did a paint job to see the color contrast with the oem black of the door. I like it but its so messy and the texture is like cheap paint. lol I used the duplicolor stuff.

 

tiny screws.

 

i used 1/2" #8 self tapping screws + #8 washers to screw mine back together

 

nice i'll be taking it apart tommarrow after work to see what i need in terms of size. But whats a good material other than suede? and also i see that there is a "pocket" over the power controls, would i have to glue the fabric to hold the shape? thanks all.

 

 

Wow this looks so good!

 

?

 

 

I have the same blue suede in mine.

 

did you guys get the suede material local arts store and did the install yourself? id like to know cause i'll probly get some this sunday and work on it all day

 

yes and yes.

i used harbor freight 2" brushes and home depot contact cement (DEP? WEP? cant remember the brand lol)

 

so then did you fully replace the stock fabric? or did you just do like an overlay? and how did you use the cement? to stick it onto the stock fabric as an overlay? thanks. im gonna get some supplies this sat morn and do the install sun. yay!
