49768, New Paint! Interior Next. Need some help though..
Posted by GreenMonster, Jun-08-03 07:27 PM
Hey Guys. Just got the car painted. Factory green with Chameleon Flames on the side. Also painted the center taillight and the sides of the altezzas. The car Looks so good. What do u guys think?





Here is the real questions though. Some of my interior pieces are painted chameleon already. My interior is gay gray. What I am planning on doing(got air ride, PS2, some Tvs, subs amps) redoing the whole back (backseat to trunk including side panels) all "Alpine Style". Fiberglass, duraglass, Body filler. All custom made like the SI. But I want to make my seats and headliner and dash a dif color. I need some links of dyes and spray paint to use. How to would be best. Thanks in advance guys!!!!

for the headliner, there is a write-up at www.kaptainmyke.com dont bother dying it, you can do it urself by getting some fabric at a fabric store. as for what dyes to use, do a search i know it has been discussed numerous times. Hope this helps you!!

Wow, i'm a stickler about flames, but those are the best looking flames i've ever seen on an import. Nice nice nice.

I have 1 complant however... I'm thinking that gunmetal wheels would make your car look even more badass.

Car looks pretty sick.

To answer your questions tho. I'm pretty sure Duplicolor spray paint and SEM vinyl paint are popular choices for painting our interiors.

Usually, you'll want to sand it down to get it smooth then paint over it and use clear coat for the shine if you want it. Also, kaptainmike has write ups for all that stuff on his site. The headliner is fairly easy. Just look up his site heh.

Thanks alot on your guys' feedback! As of right now the backseat back has been takin out! I have built a custom skeleton(so far) for my PS2, Air tanks, Compressors, Amps, and subs. The tricky part right now is building the sides( i removed all my panels back) As for the rest of the interior i think it is going to be fairly easy. Maybe the main dash takeout. Any hints on how to take it out besides "look for screws"? Thanks all! Peace

I shall post pics as soon as it comes available!
