I have seen alot about interiors and many ways to customize interiors. I had stitchcraft of
CA wrap my whole interior in blue/white viny. I had to send each panel out and reinstall everything. I took apart just about every square inch of my interior. When I got the panels back they were incredible. However it took about 10 1/2 hours to rinstall the interior because since everything is wrapped it's impossible to line up the snaps to snap in panels due to the fact now the panels are thicker. It took alot of time and planning where to hide hidden screws. Anyways thats one way of doing it.Checkut my pics and you will see the interior.
Now I am board and want that full custom interior look. I want to fiberglass each panel and make additions to it and just go crazy like the wings west honda civic si but 1. I don't know how to glass yet and 2. I need to know the difference between gel coat and paint clear coat. I know that gelcoat has a color pigment but when the glass is nice and shinny and colorfull do these panels get scratched? Is gel coat harder to scratch then clear coat? I need a DIY on how to glass and how to go about gel coating. Any help would be much appriciated. Also my pics are three months old and my digital camera broke so I haven't been able to take new pics. But everything in that swap has been cleaned up as well as the interior. Joe

layers in photoshop.
after the images were in place I sampled the car color.
I layed the color over the whole photo and then reduced the color until I got the effect I wanted.
