I was attempting to run wires for my new amp and as i am sure u guys ave seen, it works better with the interior body pannels off. I tried to pull the one i wanted, but to do so had to pull another first and anoter one before that and so on. I now have my entire interior bodypannels out and noticed they look kinda crappy. I was thinking about painting them black or someting similar. Any suggestions on methods or other ideas would be appreciated. Thanx

 

I would just look for some new panels like at the junkyards or thirdgenparts.com places like that. You could find a pretty reasonable deal on some panels. I wouldn't paint them myself, cause I've seen some panels that were painted and looked good but once they got scratched looked pretty crappy with the old color showing. Well thats my 2 cents anyway.

 

I spent $65.00 USD and I'll tell you what. My interior panels came out perfect and they only scratch with maximum effort. I'd do that instead of wasting time scouring around for decent looking plastics or buying brand new. Use what you already have. 8)

 

Let me clarify....dye/paint vs. buying old or new. Very easy very nice.

 

I'd say paint/dye them if you're on a budget, if you're gonna go black start with pannels that are already black and just touch them up so if it gets scratched it won't show as much. good luck!

 

I got all the black panels for my car from the junkyard for $50.00. Came out of a Camaro. Panels were in great shape.
I have my old gray panels that I painted black for sale if anyone wants them.

I sprayed mine with undercoating. I thought that if they got scratched, I could just easily touch them up.
