Anyone paint their interior?

Twilight · 12-30-2003

Hey guys Im looking to paint my interior in my 94GT was wondering if anyone had done it before? Ive seen some tutorials, but they use spray paint YUK! I have an air brush and my body shop guy said he'd give me some paint and some clear coat for free. Im in the process of taking out the pieces right now and Im going to clean them with alcohol.

I was going to do like 3-4 coats of paint and 3-4 coats of clear.

Thanks
Steve

wow, that seems tough..
I have pics of my interior before it was painted, but none yet of how it sits completly re-done.
I went from both black and beige stock colors, with grey seats, to an all black almost show shine interior if i do say so myself.
I have no idea how i pulled it off... but i just used pretty cheap canned black paint for vinyl and plastics.
I just made sure the parts were really clean before i started, and taped everything off that needed it.
Worked out great. Only cost me about 40 bucks aswell. Not sure if you want to go that route if you have the airbrushes and body shop at your disposal, but im just sharing my experiences...

A light sanding never hurts either.

careful doing so many coats...especially w/ the clear...it can be cloudly looking...also...some of the pieces might not fit as good.

Ask u body shop guywhat they would use to prep the parts if they where painting them diffrent systems require diffrent steps(plasic adhision promoter or cleaners for ex.)the last thing u want is pealing after u get it all together

Try this kind of paint.

Krylon Fusion. Bonds with the plastic. My friend did it with his Cavi, never has chipped.
