Interior paint
Hey guys
Thanks for all your input on exterior painting. I wondered what everyone did on the interior. I ordered spray paint from zip, etc., but I wondered if anyone did different on the interior. I would like to use a paint gun to paint the metal parts of the interior but wondered if that is ever done.
What's the professional way to paint on a 1960 red interior?
Thanks ahead of time

I think you can get a better job with a spray gun and use an automotive paint. If you have a part that you can take off. Take it to your local automotive paint store and they should be able to match it. Their maybe a better way that the experts on the forum can tell you but that's have I've done the ones that I have restored.

Hi!
I would find the nearest PPG distributor and purchase a quart of Lacquer. Do not rub out the lacquer when done and you will have a factory correct finish. I use a high build primer to fill minor scratches or marks in the original panels.
