Painted some more stuff

Shaun03GT · July 23rd, 2011, 11:34 PM

I just painted my calipers, I liked how they came out. Ive been wanting to do black out tail lights for a while. Went to autozone, didnt have any of that VHT shit. So I went to Pep boys, they had it. Also had Duplicolor Redfire paint. So decided to paint my intercooler piping redfire, and black out the tail lights.

I wish I sanded the piping down alittle more, but I didnt have any more sandpaper.

Putting it all back togeather tomorrow. Should look good.

Shaun03GT · July 23rd, 2011, 11:35 PM

Oh and the taillights arent that dark, iphone and photobucket app sucks. I should have just emailed the pics to myself and uploaded them to photobucket.

MRKsD3 · July 24th, 2011, 12:11 AM

Lookin' good mayne!

RZNCAIN · July 24th, 2011, 12:15 AM

I agree! Lol

Shaun03GT · July 24th, 2011, 12:21 AM

lmao! Tomorrow, I just put one more coat of clear on the piping. The taillights are good, but I cant see shit. Dont worry, Ill get some more pics tomorrow.

Rich11 · July 24th, 2011, 12:29 AM

Hurry up man!Lol I wanna see the finished product. I wonder if they have my paint code, I'm digging the redfire piping.

Shaun03GT · July 24th, 2011, 12:53 AM

Whats your paint code? Go to pepboys man, they had a shit load of colors there. Like $6 a can. I wish I sanded the piping alittle more, its alright. Itll look good though, worst case Ill take it off and sand it again and re spray.

Rich11 · July 24th, 2011, 12:58 AM

Ok I'll check it out this weekend. My paint code is e9. Hopefully I can find some before the AM show.

mcqueen · July 24th, 2011, 01:05 AM

Looks good Shaun. Let those pipes dry really well before you reinstall them. I painted my CAI a while back and got antsy about putting it back in. The couplers ended up rubbing the paint off the the tubing and some areas got scuffed up since the paint was still wet under the top layer.

Shaun03GT · July 24th, 2011, 01:17 AM

Thanks man! And yup, lol that happend when I painted them black. Only on one of the pipes, but it sucked.

Im thinking, since I found those cans of redfire, I MAY re paint my calipers. I know its not high temp, but I know you can do it.

Also was thinking about painting my wheels black with a redfire lip around it. I dont like bullitts, but black bullitts look good.

What do you guys think of painting the trim piece that goes around the radio and climate controls and shifter? Painting that redfire? The interior is so bland. I have my dashpod, shiftlight, Mach 1 seats, but it needs something else. But I dont want to make it look like shit if I do that.

Sweet, you will love the look of the tails. Especially if you delete your spoiler. I was in a tossup on if I wanted blacked out tail lights or not so I kept changing back and fourth. Needless to say my tails are staying blacked out.

Oh and yea do your interior pieces.

Mine:

(steering wheel cover is now gone.

)

I know the process is straight forward but maybe this will help by chance. I did this about a year ago...
For those who have been asking about painting interior trim pieces.

mcqueen · July 24th, 2011, 01:33 AM

Damn Shaun, you're turning into me with all your painting

I'm not a fan of Bullitts either (although I have a set on my car right now) but I think black with a Redfire lip or pinstripe would look good. And those 2 pieces of the interior would look good painted. You should also consider doing the panels that you grab on to when you close the doors (to spread the color around). Here's mine painted white

Sorry about the shitty quality of the pics, a dark garage and cell phone camera don't mix well

Rich J · July 24th, 2011, 01:36 AM

Oh and Shaun, if you ever want to sell the bullitts. You know someone local and could use them...

Just look down about an inch and look at my sig for an ugly reminder.

I know dude! Im taking the spoiler off again lol. I need to fix the paint under it though. Im a fucking moron, I wet sanded it with what I THOUGHT was 2000grit, turned out to be 1000 and it fucked the paint up. So idk what to do

Hmmm........I should go paint it right now. Thanks for the pics they look good.....

Worst case if I dont like it, I could repaint it silver, or just black.....fuck it Im gonna go paint it!

mcqueen · July 24th, 2011, 01:38 AM

Do it! Hell, if you don't like it you can pull a Zaterkaz and paint every little piece of your interior black

(although he does have the colored parts like mine, but I guess dark grey wasn't dark enough for him)

Rich J · July 24th, 2011, 01:41 AM

McQueen, your interior looks darker than mine.

MRKsD3 · July 24th, 2011, 01:42 AM

+1 on painting the center piece thingy... And I think the bullitt shifter bezel adds a nice touch...

MRKsD3 · July 24th, 2011, 01:43 AM

Damn I wish my interior was black....

You know, that's not the first time I've heard that. I painted the defrost panel that is right up by the windshield white like 2 months ago and the reflection bothered me enough that I painted it black instead. It wasn't a whole lot darker than the panel around it
