I want to paint my interior white and have gey racing seats, but my local shop wants 1200 to paint the interior. is there any other way to do this???

 

Some sandpaper, some spraypaint and some time.

That's how I'm gonna do mine.

Primer and finish optional.

 

any special type of paint, or juts good ol' krylon.

 

if u wanna make it look even better get some automotive paint (ext car paint) and airbrush it on then clearcoat it

 

If you sand and/or base coat properly and plan on putting a clear coat type finish on it the paint shouldn't matter too much. I'll probably go with Krylon or Rustoleum depending upon who makes a better color match for the blue I want. I wish I could give you better advise from experience, but that's the best I can offer right now. if you have access to an airbrush or someone who acn airbrush for you, that'd be the best way to do it. Most of us don't fall into that category though.

 

i used just krylon high gloss...but i sanded primer'd....clear coated the crap out of it...

i did 2 coats primer...5 coats krylon...5 coats clear coat...looks great...but i also spent around 40 hours(im a perfectionist) doin' most of the plastic parts...but i last week i decided to change colors...so i get to redo all the painting again...will have pics asad

 

damn, 1200?!?! thats more than my shop want's to do a bodykit! But yeah, it can still look professional even if a pro doesn't do it. If you don't feel comfortable painting then get a friend or someone to do it. It will look good, don't worry.

 

Yeah, that's pretty much my plan in a nutshell.

I don't mind takin' the time. I have my sister's car to drive while she's at school.

That's actually more than most custom leather jobs.

 

i live in canada thats 700 for you guys. i have a week in april to do it when my brother is away, and i have experience with paint so i'm not wooried i just want to get the process down.

1.sand
2. prime
3. paint
4. clear coat

sound right???

 

Yup.

(Be certain to use a light primer if you want to do a lighter/brighter paint color without maknig an assload of coats)

 

Im gonna be doin mine in about 2 weeks or so. My brother is doin his next week, so I will post some pics up

 

If i wanted to get RED for my interior, does anyone know the paint code for it, or the name of the paint. Or is it just plain RED? First person to answer this question will win the prize.

 

What type of sandpaper? 1000 grit??

 

i am doin my friends eclipse right now
i used auto paint in an airbrush to do it, looks awsome when you guys do your let me know how you got the dash out, on my car i want to do the whole line under the titanium thing, (if you follow that line all the way across to where it ends on the doors) thats waht i want to paint if i can get it all out lol
