TopFuel 05-23-2002 03:13 AM



<< 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!

TopFuel 05-23-2002 03:15 AM



<< wow that looks really good man... i must tell bf about tha paint you used... did you use any kinda special spray gun?:) :tup: >>



Nope...no spraying gun or anything...just skill! Its all in the wrist! Left to right motion and i had 2 coats of primer, 3-4 coatings of the silver...2-3 clear coat :tup: Thanks for comments 7th gen memberS!

TopFuel 05-23-2002 03:25 AM



<< 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]

TopFuel 05-23-2002 03:27 AM



<< 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!

<< Topfuel yeah the peices that lead up to the cieling from your dash on the side of the car. Pink no he used spray paint. >>



Oh I see...Never thought of that...maybe i'll have updated pics later on if i plan on doing it hehe. But by mid-summer i should have a full sound system w/lcd screen and more strobes! So i'll post pics of that later on :)

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. :tup:

Thanks Alex...I worked hard painting that! So far on the exterior it is stock but i take pride in my clean interior! I just vacummed the day before yesterday again! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

thanks SPC! DIYs are the best!! I love em! so inexpensive compared to buying a WHOLE trim kit

LOL sosojef! Tell me about it! This one hott latina chick i know wanted me to give her a ride back to school from a softball game....everytime we went under a bridge she would go "oooh oooh look the colors!!!" :) I was loving it....she also said "I'd have too much fun in this car" :tup: So i told her feel free to mess around in it anytime with me :)

TopFuel 05-23-2002 03:35 AM



<< how long did it take u?? >>



wassup alleyez...it took about 5 hours but you can do some parts one day and others another day so it isnt as tiring to do it all at once. I would suggest spanning it over a few days but if you're really bored you can do it all in one day and surprise your friends! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

TopFuel 05-23-2002 03:36 AM

thanks inanimate and jeff( you got the same name as me! ) [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Crashoveride 05-23-2002 08:17 AM

That looks realy good man. makes me want to do it too. The only thing holding me back is that I dont want it to chip or look like crap when the car gets older. Plus I cant find Plasti-Kote paint anywhere around here, and we dont have a Pep-Boys here.

Anyhow, lookin good man. :tup::tup:

Vizyun 05-23-2002 08:23 AM

Good looking stuff man. Top quality job! So primer, silver, then clearcoat, huh? I'm looking to do mine in blue, and I LIKE what I'm seeing! The neons look hot!:tup::tup::tup::tup::tup:

TopFuel 05-23-2002 04:18 PM

Thanks for your replies...i can ship the paint to you if you want...just PM mke if you're interested. Late

Krepoort 05-23-2002 04:30 PM

blackasnight2001 05-23-2002 06:25 PM

hey it looks good, thinking of pullng a DIY job myself , just one thing about the neons, i noticed where you had them placed and i would suggest putting them under the seats, casue i had them there also and passengers kept knocking hte one down so i put them under the seat and they look better(more blue shining) and are less of a prob...:tup:

SOHC 05-23-2002 08:51 PM

hey, maybe i missed something here- what the heck is spc? and why do so many members have that logo in their signatures?

most importnantly- someone toss me a link to that SPC interior paint DIY.

thanks!

sumama 05-23-2002 09:17 PM

how'd you only spend $90?

I get what you're saying, someone already kicked and cracked my passenger one before but since i had warranty i shipped it back to Street Glow. I already have the 20 inch ones...how do they look and will it fit? and what position would you exactly put it in? The position i have em in rightt now dont fall down cause its screwed into the plastic piece under there. Hook up some pics of your neons! Thanks!!
