nice work im looking forward to seeing part 2.

 

How has the paint been holding up? I think I am just going to do everything at once and sand/prime everything. I will then rewrap the headliner...

 

Just had this emailed to me and all I can say is WOW! I think I'm gonna do it!

 

so whats the paint of choise for these plastic parts...

Krylon Fusion
Duplicolor fabric and vynl

both manufactures say that the only prep that is needed is to clean the surfaces...

 

good question, how is krylon fusion

 

thats a really good looking evo. love the black all the way around. good job on the interior, too.

 

I followed this write up and did my entire enterior headliner and all. Took about 7 cans of paint to do but it came out b!tchin!! nothing like an comepletely black interior. I just wiped down the surfaces very clean, i've heard using rubbing alcohol works very well. But about 4 coats for every piece and that's it. Getting the headliner out of the car was a PITA but it came out great. I'm hoping to get some pics up by this weekend.

 

I am in the process of painting the dash pieces and it is not coming out well..... Paint is spreading on me. I do understand, I painted my rims fine. Pepboys did not have flat so I am using semi gloss...

 

Yep, I suck at painting, I have now f*cked my trim up. I am now going to take it to a body shop.

 

bit too much black for me, but clean work.

 

Wash the parts in hot water (as hot as you can stand) with some diswashing soap (dawn, etc) to remove finger grease, mold release, etc. That's what I do and I've never had a problem with paint sticking. Just make sure it's COMPLETELY dry before you paint it.

 

I would have to imagine that mineral spirits would work too, since you are cleaning and preping the surface at the same time.

 

thats actually prett damn nice.

 

good pics.

 

What pedals do you have in your pictures, I like. And I did this myself, turned out great, now I have to do the B and C pillars to match.
