Painting interior parts
I am thinkin about painting some interior parts on my TC. I am thinkin about paintin the trim piece around the stereo and center console. ( which is a brushed aluminum look from factory) The door pieces in back of the lock, the 2 vents on each side of dash and 2 window defrosters on each side of dash and the intrument panel cluster. I am going to go silver to match the exterior/interior colors. Any ideas or thoughts about this. And if anyone has done so and had pics would be interested in seeing them

thats where i got mine from in spray cans. thought they were very good. 1st batch of paint as a little too rust looking so i just had to send my swatch spray card back to them & they sent a 2nd batched that matched perfectly!!! got to keep the 1st can, even though the color was off, for fun painting!

Jennay, you did the interior stuff yourself. I am inspired now, but nervous to do it myself in case I f**k it up. What exactly did you buy from that site? How long did it take you to do?

purchased from the site paint in spray can & clear coat. went to hardware store & bought sandpaper & some painters tape. took the plastics out of my box very carefully, sanded off the light gray factory paint, wiped all parts with rubbing alcohol & taped up areas that werent going to get painted & lightly sprayed. took all day but worth it. once completely dry waxed the parts & put them all back very carefully :D

to pop out center console you have to be careful to not crack it because it is all one large yet thin piece of plastic with screws behind the *****. just be careful & see instrucions posted above

Well most of paint work is done for now. Just gotta get the pieces on the doors where the handle/lock is.. I cant get them out without them feeling like there gonna break!!!
Will get pics as soon as I get to take some.. Kinda debating the color still also..

I was thinkin the same exact thing. I made some photoshops of some ideas. Hope they show up.

I know not a lotta people like green, but deal with it. Plus itl match my Wet Okole seat covers that i ordered.
Anyway i figured the best way to do this would be to order a silver dash overlay kit and paint the parts whatever color you want.
Or the hard way, but cheaper, take out your center console, mask, and paint[/img]
