Amount of paint needed for interior paint job?
Well, im thinking about doing a custom paint job on the silver parts of my dash/interior. Expresspaint only sells it in 11 oz color matched cans for $25, and i want to know how much i will need. Im thinking of doing the long silver parts on the dash, the silver bands on the steering wheel, a/c knobs, and front and rear pieces around the window control. Im guessing im going to need more than 11 oz. Also, is there a DIY on interior painting somewhere on sl? Thanks guys, i appreciate it.

Are you getting a basecoat/clearcoat paint system or single stage (which means color and clear in one step)? What color are you going to paint the silver parts?

the trick spray paint for plastics or model spray paint along with the plastic primer! Light coats and take your time.
model paint = 4-6 cans full size paint cans = 2-3 primer = 1 can www.myspace.com/02creation |
the methods I spoke of are professional ones. If you are just going to paint the pieces with a Duplicolor paint matching spray that is different.
Professional methods: long lasting, more shine, better match to original color, but need a compressor, spray gun and skill Duplicolor or similar: east to apply, not as shiny, may chip off. either way it is all in the prep, first clean really good with a Prep all , wet sand with 1000 grit, apply an adhesion promoter, apply paint and clear coat ( if needed) You do not need primer but you can if you want. |
