Painted Interior (updated new pics)

[Armageddon Sunset]

Great job, that looks hot! what color/brand is that red paint?
thats the red I want in my car. Im going with a red and black interior theme.

Looks good. Will look even better when the car is painted balck. Throw another $150 to your body shop & have them paint the rest of the interior black to go with the red.

believe it or not, the paint is from the dollar store, $1 a can (i used 3 cans). There a plenty of tuts on here, just search around you'll find them. And thanks to everyone that posted up comments.

what does everyone think the best paint is to use?, and what did you do for primer? i want to paint my trim black from the wood but im afraid to fuckin it up making it look shitty

[badmitsu]

like i said before, i used dollar store paint, no primer. i just misted it on the first couple coats and then painted it good

i traded a 00 Chevy Silverado Z71 even for my car

2 months later the oilpump went out in the chevy, i got lucky

after i traded i was so pissed of at myself but i traded because my wife was about to have our baby and we needed the room.

Everything happens for a reason

[99 galant]

yea but your car has alot of miles too, did the chevy have alot for an 00?

looks pretty good. I used rust olem sand paper and adhesion promoter when I did mine. took me all night to paint it.

did you not sand the peices? you have to sand bro. its the only way. i just finished painting the rest of the vents and the handles today. it took 3 weeks to paint all the accent peices including woodgrain but my shit looks like a professional bodyshop did it. im getting really good at painting even with rattle cans, but its all about the preping. you gotta sand out the woodgrain. start with some real abrasive paper and gradually work your way up to 1500-2000 grit. then prime. and depending on whether or not you want texture to your trim peices or not, wet sand the primer with 2000 grit to smooth it out. if you want to keep the texture that the non woodgrain pieces have then just prime them then paint them.i did a bunch of coats. wet sanded again to knock down the orangle peel. then i hit it with a bunch of coats of some clear. when they finally dried and cured, i polished all the finished peices with a very low cut buffing compound and then used some wax. that way dirt and dust and fingerprints will not get on them when they are touched. shit looks flawless, i have a compressor now with spray gun and im anxious as hell to practice with it.

yea i sanded, but the ones i didnt are fine the ones i did are like crap the sand paper didnt take off this plastic coating that the primer and paint got under and the ones i didnt sand it hardly effected, ill have to go back and sand it all down again one day
