dude, that doesn't look bad at all. good job!

 

thats impressive :D

 

thanks guys. i'm brand new to this whole thing, so i just figured i'd give it a try. also if you have any ideas on what else i could do by myself, let me know.

 

I painted my interior red... no pics yet though

 

what do i need to order from paintscratch.com do do my centerconsole and gauges for flint mica? how much paint do I need? and is the sand paper they sell the right one? its 220 gritt, 600, and 1000? I never did this before, but I'm going to give it a try. Thanks guys!

 

Really all you need from paintscratch.com is the basecoat spray paint, primer, clear coat and the adhesion promoter for plastic parts cant hurt either. As far as sandpaper, get it from the hardware store. You should use 600 to start but after the primer and maybe first coat of basecoat your only really gunna want to use 1000 or 1500 as anything rougher will take the paint right back off the edges as I found out with trial and error. As far as quanity, to be safe and have nice thick finish I would say 2 spray cans of basecoat and clearcoat, the primer and promoter you can prob. get by on one can each for all your interior parts.

 

Thank you so much! and how long should I sand them before I apply the paint?

 

Just enough to scuff up the surface to help the primer and paint to stick. Most of our interior parts are pretty smooth and ready to go as they are. If you use too rough of sandpaper your only gunna make more work for yourself and have to sand out all the scratches you make.... as I found out the hard way.

 

that blue one up above looks craptastic. the shinny black one not so much though

 

here are just a few i've done myself....first is my current xB...second is my old tC...third is a link to wedrivescions tC

Any better pics? Maybe pulled back with most of the dash w/door open and closed? I want to do mine to color match the BSP but not sure if I want to trim it like everyone or go all out like you did. I like all of it but not too sure about leaving the buttons and **** unpainted.

 

ill try to get sum betta pics....im not too good with the camera though....lol....srry.....yeah im gonna paint the **** but not the buttons

 

Any updates? I've been thinking about doing this myself.

 

just did my girlfriends tC interior pieces for her...FM...i'll have her post up pix of them off and then on the car. they came out nice.

 

I used the paint for plastic that I purchased from Auto Zone and it worked great.

If someone did paint the buttons, how would you re-print the lettering that was on them? It'd be amazingly badass to paint them and redo the button lettering, but I haven't any clue who would be able to do the buttons.

 

make a stencel and then air brush them on maybe? it wouldnt be easy.

 

 

that's uhhh different.
