mine was all just spray painted before last week,but i did some fiberglass work on the center console cover,and the arm rests,u can tell only cause their really shiny and if u felt em,their smooth as glass and hard as a rock.
Originally posted by scottland no offense but that is just butt ugly, looked much better grey.
what were you thinking ???!?!??!?!
Actually this is the first negative comment I've ever recieved for it on these boards.... Everyone seems to love my red gauge cover on my red car. :: shrug ::
Only negative comment I've ever recieved on it was from my girlfriend, heh.
And actually it looks much better than when I first got the car, whether you like the look or not.... when I got it, the previous owner painted it a nasty raspberry red color. Oh, and the headliner was covered in purple velvet pimp material. Oh, and there was red velvety material over where there's usually a map pouch. And let's not forget the area around the sail-panels and the "humps" behind the back seats were painted raspberry red. :: puke ::
let me get mine done and then i'll post i don't have as much done as some people on this board some not going to name names but some are just a little to overboard maybe...IMO only but it's okay what ever floats your boat...

i understand what you mean but what exactly are you going to paint? me i'm just doing little things no big things just to give the interior just a little bit of color accent simple things like vents, logos, buttons you know little stuff. nothing like the gauge plate or center counsel or anything like that.

I painted the little rectangular area that goes around the P, R, N, D, 2, 1 next to the shifter, and the little tiny trim plates around my power window/mirror switches, and that's all the rest I've done so far. I dont' plan on painting much more than that unless I decide to do the two outer vents, which I probably won't.
I'll get you a pic of what I'm talking about when I get home from work.
Originally posted by CustomX Fryers looks good. its not over done and its not too bright and overpowering.
:: twitch :: Pet peeve.... it's FYRE, as in Fire. not Frye or Fryer. Hehe.
(don't worry, everyone does it. )
But thank you for the compliment! Like I said most people have seemed to like it a lot, other than my girlfriend and scottland. (The user not the country. lol)
i just use primer, paint and clear coat but i don't know i've known some people to use modle paint and do it by hand=takes to long and is boring, i'd rather pull out what i want to spary, spray and wait to dry and pop it back in much easier and less time consuming.
