Completes it!

 

Thanks guys!

 

You know I just thought of one last thing your truck needs... me behind the wheel. I have never done any interior painting could you give me some advice I would like to attempt it

 

Patience and prep work is key. Anything you paint make sure you take it out of the truck. Clean the plastic with a degreaser, dish soap and warm water. Scuff up the plastic with sandpaper. Get a good adhesion promoter, I used bulldog, had good luck with it. Couple coats of that, then 2 or 3 coats of an automotive primer. Let that sit for 24 hrs. Get some wet/dry sandpaper and wetsand with a light grit. Then 3 or 4 base coats. I let those sit for a few days. 3 coats of clear. Let them sit for a few days. Wetsand again with a finishing grit, compound, polish and you should be good to go.

I figured out a pretty good method through trial and error. This worked for me. A lot of the interior pieces had texture to them, some I sanded down completely smooth, others I chose to leave a little texture.

Some guys say PTM interior parts are a "ricer" look. I wanted something a little different. Good luck if you do it

 

Dang ruby is looking very nice! great job on the interior. any other mods you got for ole roob?

 

Thanks! I want to do 2-toned leather seats, grey with maroon inserts. Don't know when that will happen. Other than that I'm pretty happy the way she sits.

 

Yea i agree. There is no need to do another thing to it besides maintinance (dont know how to spell that) Its perfect the way it is.
