help me out on picking a nice color to spray my centar console and dash around the gauges thanks

 

 

dont do that man, take a look at riced out imports... what do they have? body color dash, bezels and even ac vents

 

ive seen some previous posts where this was done and im not going for rice like a blue yellow or some crazy color i was thing a gun metal grey to match my new interior

 

Actually Prime, did it to his car looked really good. He didn't go overboard with it either. I was thinking of doing mine, I just don't think red would match my maroon interior.

 

go for it and lets see some pics

 

heres a pic of mine i dont think its rice for me there was just to much black on the inside. just dont go to bright of colors cuz then you will look like a *****. mines sliver

 

another one

 

Here's an idea. The guy that had the car before me owned a custom interior shop and thought it'd be pretty cool to do this. I don't have any complaints, for this is what made the car so attactive to me. But yeah, here's some interior pics of the front (back looks sweet too).

sorry but I can't see your pics, check the link, I'd like to check it out

 

Ahhhhhhhh, the stupid CamaroZ28 Web hosting sevice sucks ***, it says it's forbidden? WTF. Oh well, sorry guys, if you wanna still check everything out then just go to the custom page of my website:

Custom Interior Page

 

i have a red camaro and touched up a couple panels with the same body color paint. if you dont go overboard, it looks good. the completely black dash just seems to lack when the rest of your interior is red and black. its all preference. i happened to have a couple sets of dash pieces (was bringin my old beater 'maro to the junkyard) and tried it out on the spare set. that way if i didnt like it, i could switch back. these pieces arent expensive at all, so maybe pick up another set from the junkyard. make sure to clean the plactic and prime it before you paint. mine havent peeled or anything and look pretty decent

 

If you go to www.geocities.com/admrlam/Bird.html and navigate in a few pics, you can see i did the speaker grills, defroster vents, and recessing rings to the gauges.

MODERATION is the key, as was mentioned above with Primes. Ive seen someone do the whole dash bezel red, its nasty.

 

I checked the first linked it worked for me. I don't like it all. Honestyl it looks like it's waiting for some shaggy fur on the dash.

 

looks like the camouflage hunters wear in the snow to me

 

Thanks for the complement. I guess I am a trend setter lol I just didn't like how plain and dark my interior looked so I thought why not. Here is a couple of pics for those who havent seen it. And yes I know my seats suck, hope to have them replaced soon though.

 

I think it would look bettter with the torx screws powdercoated to match Prime, looks cool though

 

well i went ahead and removed the pieces and did it my dad had an extra can of gunmetal laying around and it pretty much matched my car i love it almost looks like 86-rs's above but darker i am very please my fauther also has a digital cam ill take some pic but will need one of you guys to post it for me if you would be so kind but i dont go their till the weekend ill get them then i am also thinking about doing the square like pieces around each one of my guages but am afraid it will look over done

 

here is a pic of interior I think looks awsome I am in the process of a similar effect

 

and here is another view

 

I really like how some slight use of paint to trim the interior panels works nicely.

Might try accenting the interior of the 84 in blue or silver...

 

well here is mine ...........

 

here's another one ....srry the pics are so big i don't know how to make them smaller.........

 

What kind paint are you guys using, is it spray paint? I think i would scratch of pretty easy, is that a problem?

 

Here's a pic of mine. The door handle covers are black. Changed em out, didn't like the silver on them, blah. Haven't taken a pic with em though. I am making my own billet aluminum dash kit here soon. My friend has a shop that sells that aluminum that they use on Harley's. The checkered flag looking stuff. His shop can lazer cut the pieces for the dash so I'm gonna have him do that. Think it would look sweet. Waiting for my 4th gen console to get here first.

 

mine is just spray paint and the reason it doesn't wear off is because we put clear coat on it and iam sure it will wear off in time like 3 years or so but heck it takes like 30 mins. to do all of them so its nothing big for me to take them off and just touch them up.

 

I'm planning on painting a few trim pieces silver to match my soon to be installed grant wheel and my CD player. What kind of paint are you guys using? I'm not gonna go nuts, just the bezels around the switches on both sides of the gauges and the little vents in the center console, maybe a few more things. Think it'd be a good idea to clearcoat them as well to keep it from rubbing off on things?

 

i just used some extra spray paint i had laying around and then clear coated it a few times looks great

 

If you do it right its no so riced out. This was at autorama and thats not spray paint.

 

Oh I forgot this unless the server is pulling some odd stuff on me. This is the Blar witch camaro, bad sob.

 

Ok what i did was I used VERY light coats of Rustoleum Hammered spray paint for like 5$ a can and put on about 2-3 coats of that on each piece. Then I used some interior Clear coat spray paint and put at least 5 coats of that on it so it would shine in the sun and wouldn't scratch easy....Spent like 15$ total at Lowes' and took my time with it and spent abut a week doing everything... :lala:

 

omg!!!! that is so sick i love that black and red anyone got any other pics of their cars ill be posting mine soon also anyone know where you can buy those carbon fiber pieces

 

I saw the camaro at Houston and almost cried, everything else is sweet on that car except for the overabundance of red. I loved the aluminum pieces he had, just not all the red. other than that, Im planning on getting some aluminum pieces made for mine, such as dash bezel, switch plate, and maybe some inlays for the a/c area. Ive been wanting to do it for a whlie but I havent found any metal that I like, or maybe its just that Ive been too busy (lazy?!) I might just do the paint for now until I can find some metal 'cause Im getting really tired of plain old black.

 

Looks cool

 

Wow, not the reply I'd expect from you.

I think in some cases it looks alright, but in others, they went WAY overboard.

 

Which ones do u think went overboard?

 

This guy went overboard. Just walked outside today and saw this mustang. Green and black huh?

 

Looks real great huh? .........pos

 

So much for the resale value on that Mustang, but whatever.
YUK!
That thing is rolling around Dallas?

 

hay at least the color matches the way the car runs races.... $hit green lol

 

Yeah that rag is here in Dallas. See that apartment right there in front of it? There are the underpayed Maintenance men painting the apartment. I guess when they hired him and asked him for his greencard they didn't know he really said greencar
no offence to those who don't think thats funny.

 

Oh Damn, thats hilarious!
Carrolton?

 

Hmm, Im sorry guys I just dont like how it looks at all. If you like it then more power to ya, You just wouldnt catch me doing that to my car...

-Roshambo

 

What are you guys doing to prepare for paint. Are you clear coating? Do you rough it up w/ some sandpaper first or just spray a few and clear coat it??
thanks

 

HEY THATS MY CAR! heh. I'll have some updated pics in a day or two....looks like this pic but with carbon fibre shift know, MacEwen silver face gauges, zenon backlighting and new gauges in the A-pillar pod

 

flyinlow lets see it that sounds pretty cool and I really want to se the silver faced gauges, and the backlighting.

 

The yellow interior is very nice, I would how red would look on a my RED iroc...hmmmmm.....uh oh

and whats the shi....mustang doing on the board?! ahhh

 

I've seen that Rustang, it belonged to the NEW Green Hornet, and that guy won it from a fast food chain contest!! Much like Drew Carey when he won the Batmobile on his show! LOL!

Black and Green Rustang, man what joke on a joke!

Later

Steve

 

I have to say I would agree with that. Well I just like looking at it, some look cool some does not. What I would hate is to go throgh all that work then find out that I didnt like it as much as the original look. Heh one of my freinds tried to use some upholstry paint on his vinal, thats on a 73 Satellite. He thought it looked cool till I told him to try and scratch that paint with his thumbnail. It scraped right off. So he trys to take the paint off with some paint thinner but that just left the vinal with alot of warped bubble looking marks. No, I dont think I want to put myself through all that.

 

Actually that mustang might belong to a girl. Look at all the beads and crap on the shifter.
