I'll bet your hubby doesn't drive your ride that often!

Looks good, what did you use?

 

wow.....lol

 

great turn out!!

 

Looks really good, Nice job

Next you should paint the silver trims on the doors pink.

 

I'm gunna finish the rest of the silver in pink just having a hell of a time figuring out how to get it off the doors and the steering wheel and around the vents. i just figured out how to get it off the vents and steering wheel late late last night so it was to late to start sooooo thats my mission for today !!!

 

Damn! how did you paint those? was it hard? did your hubby do it ? I still have paint left from my engine cover so I wanna give these a try.

 

no i did em myself !!! hubbys in iraq so im sending him pics of the progress... For the plastic pieces along that compartment in the middle you just pop those off.. i got them off by gently using a metal putty knife as a lever to loosen them and just pulled em off. They are held on by clips so dont yank to hard or they might snap off. For the ones on the far edges of the dah by the doors, same thing just pry em off. The ones around the vent you need to take off the ac knocbs and unscrew those screws and then the whole piece will pop off using the putty knife as a lever... you will have to unhook the air and heat controls which coming form osneone who hasnt touched anything mechanical ever, was not that hard... if you need any help or info lemme know !!! and thanks for the ocmpliments cant wait to see yours.

 

LOL, I am gonna give it a try

 

good luck and good lord did ihave a lot of typos in my last message... wow

 

USAW, I got some info on the door pieces.....you don't want to take them off... just take the door panels off and tape up what you don't want pink....I took mine off to put leather inserts in.... major PITA.

 

ohh good lord... thats one thing i dont know how to do lol is take door panels off.... hmmm guess i needa go look

 

takes about 5 minutes,

philips head screwdriver 2 metal screws in door (one in handle and one by the release lever) and a plastic screw when you open the door in the front near the top.

take out the little plastic triangle that covers where the mirror bolts on and then all you have to do is pull from the bottom and it should lift off.

Then you have to unplug the wiring for the speakers and window/door lock controls. that's it.

 

the electrical disconnects are the hardest part.....and they are the easy latch types!

 

Finally got the guts to try and risk braking stuff and got all the panels off you said. Easy no unscrewing so far. I am priming and painting now

The stereo area and door pieces look like they might be a problem.

QUESTION! The **** for the air and fan have a light coming through it. Did you paint over them??

 

Cool! I'd like to paint mine White to match the outside when they start to get some wear.

 

yay for you im glad !!!!! stero was scaring me too but it wasnt as bad as i thought itd be !!! I wanna see when u are done !!!. As for the **** light thingy you could always take over it then cut around with a razorblade....

 

I covered them with blue tape but I should have just painted over them cause it does not look so hot since of course I was not pro. at it. heh, I also ran out of my OEM color paint so I have to order more if I am gonna paint any other pieces other than these It's such a long wait to get it too. But as novice as I am at painting anything I probably did not do so bad. If you look for the mistakes or see mistakes easy I am sure you will find em.

Post pics Monday.

 

hey this was the first time i painted too !! So i know how hard it is !! Im sure your stuff looks great !

 

LOL, I just need to stop trying to get creative with it. Cause I most always screw it up.

Please let me know how it was taking off the door and stereo pieces.
