Reply With Quotenice work, many may not like the color, but the work is clean
Alright, So these are my three projects I've been working on so far. I changed out the dome lights to green, Started painting the doors haven't put the drivers side on just yet.
It's rough and the couple of paint marks don't bother me since I plan on painting the gray parts black pretty much like a two tone green/black and I also plan on reupholstering the gray sides since the car has cigarette burns and I figure I should get the green part out of the way.
Also the third project was installing a new head unit as you can see in the final picture. In short everything will be black eventually this is just the beginning and I thought I would post some pics and get everyone's opinions or tips on what I should do and tell me what you think of course, I know its pretty bad it's my first time.
And last but not least thanks everybody on the forums for the help so far I wouldn't have been able to do any of this stuff without you guys.
nice work, many may not like the color, but the work is clean
Thanks for the feedback, And yeah I understand, I absolutely love green so I decided it would be a fitting color for me personally it's defiantly not for everybody I guess. :P

do you have tint ?
Plan on getting tint, Went with the cheap stuff at first and it failed miserably. Started peeling off. Just looking for a place to get it done atm.Originally Posted by johnygezony
Nice start I'm sure it will look a lot better once your done with it.
overspray?
How did you paint the bezels
Green lover huh? BTW, do you like the color purple? I do!
Oh gawd you're killing me...
I like the green, although it doesn't seem to flow with the interior. Jeep it up though

Yeahh hopefully it's certainly a project lot to do still.
Mmmhm a little bit but as I said, I don't mind too much since it's going to be black and the upholstery is being replaced soon which is another project.
Do you mean how did I take them out? Or how did I paint them and what paint etc?
Indeed good sir I love me some green, But I also indulge in purple quite frequently.
Thanks I appreciate the critique, I agree atm the moment it is kinda out of place but it will come together eventually.
Nice work. Keep it up and I am sure it will look outstanding when you have finished.

ThanksHopefully it will!
Nice...something I plan to do down the road since I just got my galant. Also looking to reupholster the door panels too...mine have cig burns from previous owner(s). For the radio and shifter bezel do they just pop off by pulling up on them? Just from some brief reading I read to get the door lock trims off you have to take the panel off first then unscrew. Which is opposite of my last car, where u take the trim pieces and window/lock switch off first to get the panels off
Radio and shifter bezels just pop up and out.

Cool thanks
I did my own tint, it fades. I know someone who got a tint job done by a real shop and it looks great 6 years later, just look around and find the right place.
the incredible hulk ftw!
DTP already answered your question but you sound like your in the exact same situation as me, What color are you going with?
Yeah I'm just looking for someplace reasonably priced I honestly think I may have just screwed up the first time.. But I figure I should probably get it done professionally
Hell yeah.
