painting interior

BLUE91GT · September 17th, 2008, 12:11 AM

I have found that the paint that costs more is because they use better chemicles, you know the ones that are really bad for you!!! When I went through the interior of my 70 chevelle ss I replaced all I could with new stuff, but there is a lot of parts you can't get new so I had to re dye them black to look new! I used sem paint it works great and I have not had an issue in about 7 years. Make sure you use a good vinal cleaner and a good plastic cleaner, it does make a difference! Good luck Mark

I sanded my interior panels and it dont look like ass but i also used 800 grit sandpaper

this is the only pic i have of the interior so far ill take more tomorrow

The factory texture is still there but you cant see it in the pics i took

can i use the fabric and vinyl spray on everything? (plastic pieces, door panels, etc.)

what about the steering wheel?

i'm going to replace the seats and carpet and headliner...

hey it doesn't looks good if u paint it theirs going to be rough and uneven spots on the interior. just get new interior.

Don't paint the steering wheel (too much wear from your hands). Paint and dye are two different products. Some of the vinyl dyes will work on plastics but paint won't work well on fabrics or super soft vinyl surfaces. TSP is a good cleaning agent you can get from any hardware store. Use a stiff bristle brush to get down in the grain surface. If you have used Armoral or a similar product, pay extra attention to cleaning or the paint / dye will end up fish eyeing and look like ass.

everything,... but i wouldnt use it on your steering wheel due to the fact that your hands would rub the paint right off after a while

if i fuck my interior up while painting it, then i'll shell out the money for new interior, but there is no way i'm going to pay to buy everything brand new before i atleast try painting it
