( hvac controls ) this will reveal 2 screws, use phillips to remove them. then pull of hvac piece, this will reveal 2 screws holding clock unit and dash piece. clips finally old in the dash, remove by pulling. there are 2 harnesses that will need removed from clock, then its held on by a clip and 8 - 10 screws.

the little dash piece to the left ( power mirror area ) pulls out the same way, just push the mirror thingy loose.

to remove gauge bazel, take off clear plastic, built in tabs, then remove black bazels, built in tabs and then its ready for paint.

dah too much red! id paint it black ro silver.

 

ok, well, no use posting what my interior looks like, just look at camaro's and you'll see mine...except the pillars on mine are black and the headliner is red...damn you camaro. why didnt you bring it to the airport?

 

how much prep was involved???

 

doesnt take much, just take the pieces off and clean em up real good with a good solvent, i used 3m bug and oil remover, to get the armorall or whatever was on there off. then you probably are gonna want to sand down the pieces to smoothness, but if not, at least scuff them up with some like 800-1000 grit sandpaper so the primer sticks well. then paint carefully otherwise you get mad orange peel effect. clearcoat and wait 12 hrs to dry. then wax and replace. waxing isnt necessary but it shines that much more and adds another layer of protection. armorall works fine anytime you wanna clean it up afterwords

 

Im not gonna rip on it but im not going to overly compliment it....Nice paint job, but im not into the whole interior painting thing. Your car though, so if you like it, who the **** cares what i think.

 

only prep i did was scuffing, and i couldnt bring it to the airport b/c i had too much **** packed and kevin needed a way to get his stuff from his house to the airport.

 

I dont want my interior all black b/c then i'd feel like i'm gothic!
