Nearly all of the cover cars in Import Tuner magazine have some of their interior painted with some kind of paint that makes it real shiny and looks like figerglass...i want to know what kind of paint they are using or how they get it so shiny looking? It looks awesome

Usually they're made of fiberglass moldings that is painted

well if you could sand your dash to be smooth like fiberglass yes...but the dash is vinyl/plastic

would it look good if i sanded...or should i just use filler primer? then paint..then the clear coat

All the ones that you see on the cover of mags is in most cases just gell coated and sanded then cleared. I have mine all done and that is how they did mine I payed like $2500.00 for the whole car so....... Id check around a little though I am sure other guys have it done different. Hope that helps you some

yeah cool but where in the world would you get interior gell coated? i'm not lookin to spend that kind of money just for a shine lol

if you dont wanna spend that kind of money then paint it and clear coat it. It wont look as shiny but well it will give it a color!! Good luck to you!
