well after going to deptford last night and seeing sooo many nice cars, i decided to do my interior. im sanding all that fake leather off all the plastic, and im gonna go with a gray/white color scheme, mostly gray with white accents. ill make it real glossy and clear coat it, so the entire interior looks fiberglass
i'm in the process of doing that too. post more info on how to do it. i do my own body work so i kinda already have an idea. to sand down plastic i dont know shit. any kind of grit i gotta use for plastic??
i used a palm sander, 80 grit to take off most of the leather print, then switched to 150 grit to smooth it out alittle and remove any traces of leather stamp, then wet the piece, wipe it off, wet again, and wetsand with 220 wet or dry paper.... i just did the fuse door, both door pieces, and the ashtray front, primer one coat, 2-3 coats of rust-oleum gloss white, and then 2-3 coats of rust-oleum enamel clear coat, dont use the acrylic clear, it doesnt finish as pretty as the enamel.... anyway, from what i learned, dont use rust oleum regular paint, it takes forever to dry, allowing bugs and all kinds of shit to land in the paint. i would recommend:
primer: krylon or duplicolor
paint: #1 duplicolor
#2 krylon
clearcoat: rust oleum enamel clear
the reason for choosing duplicolor paint is its smooth coverage, and fast drying formula, plus it has a high gloss. the primer is just as well, dries almost instantly
the rust oleum clear also dries pretty fast, and comes out with a wonderful gloss
next up ill be painting the door panels gray, along with the entire dash, and rear pieces... then working on wrapping the seats

good info! i figured dupli's a better paint than rustoleum anyway. so even on softer interior pieces like the door panels can be sanded down right without hurtin it??? i'll prolly start with 80 like ya said then 150 then 220 wet sanded all the way to 1000. what do you think? will it come out like smooth?? and also does the paint hold up good on interior pieces??
yeah, im about to go out and take a picture of how mine turned out, they look immaculate, although i need to repaint the passenger door piece, my girlfriend fucked it all up last night....
women.....
anyway, yeah go with the dupicolor paint, you wont be dissapointed, most of it has flakes in it, so that the paint looks almost irradescent in the sun, well at least the black does.... it would be real sweet to do the interior pieces white with a blue pearl, if only they made pearl colored clear spraypaint
damn, dont know if any of the pictures showed up on here, but the post 2 posts up ^ has the pictures of the interior pieces, they look like fiberglass, its great
looks nice. kinda hard to see coz the white glares too much. are you gonna do the whole interior?? i'm doing the whole thing even replacing the headliner.
yeah its gonna be mostly gray, with white accents, as for your headliner, my friend does some cool shit with them, he just did a S-10, its like gray background with white flames, its badass, ill get pictures if i get a chance
