I've seen a lot of peeps remove n paint certain parts of their door handles, ashtrays etc. (a cheezy way of going instead of a full interior overhaul), anyways the thoughts have crossed my mind to do this over the last couple of years i have been involved in the car scene but never wanted to. Mainly for the simple fact i find it "whack" anyways out of curiousity if one were to do this whats the best paint, spray paint to use ? Has anyone done this on this board and or club in general if so how what did ya'll use?

For plastic parts I used Krylon Plastic Paint from CT.

Yuppers, the Fusion Krylon Plastic Paint works wonders... Just be sure that you leave the parts out for at least a couple of days to dry and set, put a good clear coat on it when you are done. I also waxed my pieces when I was done, with Turtle Wax to make sure the finish was shiney & a lil more durable

Just my 0.02 cents

This paint is very durable. I painted the dash of my old car about 2 or 3 years ago with no clear coat and it still looks like the day I painted it. That being said, clearing it is still a good idea.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!... DON"T PAINT UR INSIDE>>>


im kicking my self and spending money because i though it was cool thing to do!!!!!



Its the last thing u should worry about IMO, get ur exterior to how u want it, and than go from there

you said your spending money why did your screw it up man? I dont know i went to crappy tire yesterday but didnt get any stuff i'm procrasinating whether to do it or not i might but again i might not lol. Anyways did you have a bad experience? haha

okay my car was red


so i painted it whtie and red


and now my car is orange and i wanted to paint it black
and stripping and painting and all that work and waste of money is just kicking my self now.. im just going to a junk yard and pulling out a sunfire dash.. stock interior with flip screen and new gauges is sexy

Yeah i dont plan on doing that much painting yo. I cam only imagine what would happen if i attempted that, as your dash changed colors as it seems from your post after wear and tear? I havnt even purchased the materials yet but i wanna start slow n start F'n around with some stuff.

i went all out

from this:



to this:



and im almost done, it takes a hell of a long time!

looks good, I might try using a polyster paint, thats what we use for all the glass cars, at the shop

Before:



After:
Took off the old gray fabric, got some black from an ulhpostry shop...

As I always say, custom interiors are overrated...lol:




I know I said id never do it again, but, already have some new plans in the works for the bBox!!!!

Back in 99 I had my whole interior white. I would honestly say that it was the worst thing I have ever done to my car. The white reflected off the windshield and you couldnt see that well out of it especially when the sun was in front of you or just overhead. It was a real pain in the ass.

Worst of all when I decided to go back to black I couldnt find all the OEM parts at the same time so it took almost a year and a bit to get it back to black. Still I have a center vent and e brake cover in white. Lucky me I just found someone who has those parts in black and bought them off them online. Hopefully in a week or 2 I will be back to black.

If you are considering doing this I would suggest not doing it. Also some cleaners like Armourall like to eat away model and Krylon paints. I dont know why but it will soften them up after a few applications and then they will start to either bubble or peel. Especially in hot weather.

Shay.ca you should of taken an actual after picture instead of doing it in PS. It would be more convincing.
