Painted interior pics
 

I painted the interior last weekend and just got it all cleaned up. Heres some pics. I used Cherry Red and black because it matches the carbon fiber dash kit perfectly. In some of the pics it doesnt, but that because of how the CF photographs, but its perfect in person. Any positive or negative comments are welcome. Thanks.

wow - looks pretty good

in the words of paris hilton " that's hot " :rockon:

Dam!!! Not another one!!! :hithead: I have a sedan and it sux cuz the interrior is grey and i want all black so desperately and you guys with coupes destroy em by painting over a perfect black interrior lol.....Its not gonna last long for sure, But oh well......... :)

well this is actually black first of all, not the charcoal color it was before and this looks so much better. Also, the pillars were originally grey but i went with black on those too. It actually should be very durable because of the paint and method i used. I used Krylon Fusion paint for the black, which is special for plastic and wont chip after 7 days. The red is actually an automotive paint with a plastic primer and a real automotive clear coat on top so i have a sacrificial layer thats easy to repair if need be. So the durability, while never perfect, should be just fine especially if i take care of it.

looks good

looks great!

you do know that all that shine you put on there is going to attract a crazy amount of dust and its gonna look like crap in a week, right?

Well its been a week, and yes it does attract dust but not any more than the regular dash did before. I just wipe it right off and go on with my life. Thanks for the compliments guys.

and it will chip off when people kick it by mistake and shit,
props to u cus it looks wicked nice and clean but good luck

that looks nice... but i also wonder about the longetivity of it. my cousin sprayed his interior on his camry and it chipped off when i "accidently" touch it.

how was the process? and is there a presence of paint vapor?

not bad. black + red = hot

The vapor was crazy for about 3 days, especially with 95 degree heat outside, but i kept the windows down as much as possible and that helped alot but its fine now. Im not so worried about the longevity for a few reasons. #1 Nobody ever rides in my car except for me and my girl and #2 before i did anything to the car itself, i tested and tested for about 3 weeks to make sure i had the right process and materials. Also, with a clear on top, if it does get scratched odds are good it will just be the clear. And thats easy to repair, as i found out from the testing. I also have about every color of red paint you can buy so that i got an exact match.

i kick my door open when i get out, so i guess painting is not an option for me

:roflmao: :roflmao:

Hhaha!! I do that sometimes. But i usually push it out wit my arms...

yea somehow I have all these black marks on mine and they won't come off. I think tryin to get out my shoe always scrapes it.

i share ur pain.. i want an all black interior so bad lol :hithead:

nice looks good

I LOVE IT!!!!

Thats exactly what I want to do to mine!

Looks good, i thought about painting my dash around my HU red, but now i changed my mind and i'm going to fiberglass it and paint it black, i dont want anything to jump out.

I cant see the pics )-;

go to "see my ride" the pics are in there. i dont know why they arent working on here anymore.

Looks awesome! You should get some leather seats in there now. They'd look really good with the paint. Anyways great job!

yes it looks very nice man good job......

nice..... i like it!! great job man!!!!
