So I want to make some of the interior white (the stuff surrounding the head unit, in between the glove box and dash, etc.) I also need it to have a solid, glossy finish. No fake CF. Ideally I'd like a 3d dash kit, but I can't seem to find one of those in white. I don't know if there is a way to recreate that sort of piano black finish (again, in white) by painting. Am I incorrect? Are there any other solutions here that I'm not thinking of?

 

maybe something like http://customtc.com/interior30.htm ? If not hope you find what your looking for!

 

I painted mine and put a few thicker clear-coats on it afterwards and it turned out pretty glossy. It wasn't white... but I am sure it will be pretty close to the shine that you want... if you end up being unable to find a dash kit.

 

just incase your curious what it looks like. this is what i did.







its just reall quick tape i put on to see how it looked. havent painted nothing yet though. and dont really trust myself to paint them. lol

 

^ That actually looks pretty good and it matches the car. I think white suits the interior the best compared to what others have done.

jtk2 you did a pretty good job taping it up...leave it on!! haha

 

Nooooooo! Lol the taping looked horrible haha. I just need to find someone to do the paint for me. Wish jayjay was close to Houston haha!

My favorite color scheme is his though black and gold.

 

Painting really isn't that hard. I did mine a little while ago and it just takes time.

 

jtk2!

almost EVERYTHING you post is something i thought of doing to my tC2!!!

great minds think alike i guess....or its just a SW kinda thing?

but yea i thought of a white int...but i like how its nice and dark inside...the white would change that. so i decided to go against the idea of painting it white

 

DONT DO IT!!!

 

yea! lol. i only wanted to do the interior white because my interior lights i was going to do uv purple (blacklight) and that would have looked really good with the white. but i decided to go green lol. and now the white interior paint is not on my top priority list.

 

Here you go, checkout their site http://www.carid.com/. I've done numerous cars and have gotten the dash kits from them. Good stuff, it's not vinyl decals like Customtc's are these are actual kits.

 

Thanks man
I would do this stuff all day every day if I could! ;p

Although, it really isn't that hard. As long as you can afford a few hours, few cans of color, and a few cans of paint... you got a custom interior.
Unless of course, you go with gold... then you have a copycat custom interior! haha. jkjk. Go with it... it is sexy!

 

haha!! i have no problem with taking a few hours and grabbing some paint. its the skill for painting those type of parts that i dont have! lol

 

Here is a few pics of the customtC vinyl kit. I just finished when I took these, so its dark, but I will get some day time pics up tomorrow.



Hard to tell on this next one, but the kit has a piece that runs on the glove box, and the little lip above the GB too. Camera flash drowned it out:


My arms where shaky at this point....lol, lots of work done today!


This one is just to show off what else I did today ; )
