Default Interior moddin' pics

I started on my black and white interior conversion today. I painted the door panels, glove box, and the panel under the steering wheel. I think it turned out good. I can't wait to get it all installed. I'm only half way done though. I plan to add seats, console cover, and grab handle covers next.

Check check check it out:






No I didn't paint over the key hole!

I'll reserve my opinion until I see the final product installed and ready to go.

Wow! What did you paint it with? Any special prep?

It could look very nice! It will be interesting to see how it holds up though!

Duplicolor vinyl paint. I used adhesion promotor before that even though the stuff has it in the vinyl spray. I also cleaned the heck out of it to get any armor all etc. off of it. Duplicolor has a video on youtube on proper technique for this paint. I watched that a few times before getting the courage to try this. I also took a year of auto body class so I'm somewhat of a decent painter.

I'm anxious to see how it holds up too. I'll be scared to move around in my car in fear of scratching it!

I'll have it installed in a few days. I want that smell and the solvents in the paint to escape before doing so.

Yeah I know! That reminds me that resistor thing I pmd you about will work with the ballsts you have, but I did it on accident and didn't notice if the buckets dropped with the fogs on! I do have the relays in stock also.
