After a ton of work, ive got 1 piece left to do in my interior.... the piece surrounding the A/C vent's and stereo head unit. I did the rest, and took a pic... but since its dark out, the picture doesn't do these pieces justice. Thanks to Vinnie (BadAzz516) and his great help, these piece look awesome! Hard work does pay off...

mecca,

That True Blue interior paint looks great!! good job....JR

 

That looks sweet!

 

That pic doesn't even do the pieces justice. They are actually a tad bit darker, but since it was dark out I had to use the flash, and it lightened the pieces quite a bit. But, the pieces look AWESOME!

mecca, what type of paint are you using? I have been thinking of doing the same thing and under the hood on the plastic pieces in Blue. Thanks. BTW, that looks sweet as $H1T

 

Thanks. I give all credit to Vinnie (BadAzz516). I used all Dupli-Color paints. First used a Flat Black Primer, then I used the Blue, then to top it off, I used a Clear Coat.

The blue blends nicely.I had thought about doing this but I think red is to contrasting for my conservative taste.
Very nice job.

HOW THE HELL DO YOUALL GET THEM TO LOOK SO GOOD?!!! What is the process???

 

ditto!

 

Heres the process I went through thanks to Vinnie...

1. Sanded the pieces smooth with 400 grit.
2. Went back over with 1500 grit for a final smoothing.
3. Painted them with Dupli-Color flat black primer... couple coats.
4. Sprayed the blue Dupli-Color paint on... couple coats.
5. Then sprayed on a couple coats of Dupli-Color clear coat.
6. Once it all dried (I used a couple fans and dried each piece after each coat... and then left them all there for a couple hours) I wet sanded the clearcoat with 2000 grit.
7. Once the wet sanding was done, I took out the polish and got to work on them.

Good luck... Its a lot of work, but sure worth it.

Vinnie (BadAzz516) is the man!

will it not wear off eventualy? I have painted dash pieces etc before but it never lasted.

 

Quick question,

How do you know when you are done sanding? Till all the dots are gone or till it is smooth to the touch?

 

With the 400 grit I sanded till all the dot's were gone and all I could see were scratches and haze. Then I went over it with 1500 grit really well... and did it to touch. The big part is wet sanding... thats what gives the nice shine along with waxing them.
