Rep Power: 307 << looks good so far, but u need to paint the door handle piece WHITE that is still SILVER... other than that, great job! >>
I dunno about white...everything i've painted is silver but just a light silver....i think white would be too bright or something. I'm going for the black/silver/blue interior. Thanks for the comments though!

Rep Power: 307 << Looks very good. I am going to do mine is there anything I should do or not do before I paint? >>
Yeah..make sure you clean all the pieces first! I just used water and a towel but some people use certain chemicals? but water worked fine for me. Make sure you put enough coating of primer and silver(enough to match the full color of the paint you bought) and DEFINITELY put clear coat so it wont chip...mine hasnt chipped yet but its semi-easy to scratch...someone's keys put a slit on the center shifter console(only can see when you're actually inside, not too big). Good luck! This DIY was a sinch! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 307 << sweet job! how long did it take you? >>
One day i did the center console, the center shifter area console, and the air vents, another day i did the door handles and another day i did the gauges. I'd say i spent about a total of 5 hours taking my time and letting everything dry completely before i put everything back in. Thanks for your comments again everyone!

Rep Power: 307 << did you paint all that? or bought the interior trim kit?
anyways.. your car is so dead sexy! muhahahahahah!! payce. >>
Cool! First one to give me a "dead sexy!"
Yep I painted everything myself! Unbelievable how easy it was and i've never done this type of stuff before. Just make sure you research the DIY before you did it if you plan on it in the future XoULaBeAT.
