There was a little sun damage on mine, I cant remember exactly what I used, it was like 2 years ago. I used some sort of tire clean, and it blackened it up (its slippery weird feeling for a while) but it stays black, and nothing can get on it. Im sure there is a better way, but thats what I did.

And that piece you have to take out the climate control, I'm going to look at it right now so I can remember exactly what else has to come off

yeah I believe its just the panel under the steering wheel, the glove box, and the climate control. all relatively easy to remove to remove just look for points of stress where there may be a bolt, and go slow taking it off.
take some pics of your progress, I wish I took pics as I went along. but didnt have a cam at the time

yeah that piece makes a HUGE difference when you get it back into the car, because, well you look at it constantly lol.

If you get in the gauges or change the bulb to a diff color (like red) it will give it an even better effect. (you can buy them at any auto store)

Look forward to see more progress as you complete it all, its not everyones "taste" but I love it because you and everyone knows you did something, ppl always ask me how much my interior cost ... I always lie .. but truth be told a couple cans and a few hours of work

Yeah I used quite a few cans (I did very very light coats and about 20-30 coats on each piece) but its still cheap.

lol yea bro ive used 3 so far I need about 2 more. MAYBE 3. Almost done tho all i have left is the AC module piece and the door sills. Since i dont want to take off the AC control. Im going to cut off the plstic piece under neath with my dremel. Just seems easier to me.

mgnt232

#38

Just got done today. i put almost everything back on except the pieces underneath the steering wheel. Just incase i need to do something with those wires when i install my replacement engine.

I didnt paint everything like you did you. I kept alot of it black imma take some pics tmo and post them i like the results. I didnt think it would turn out as good as it did.

OH and i broke the passenger side air vent next to the door trying to take it out and put it back in, so im going to the jankyard tmo to get another one to paint.lol

Oh and i tried to paint the handle on the door panels and it didnt work out too well it wouldnt dry.... it just stayed sticky so i threw it away and went got another one out the JY.

Yeah for whatever reason the passengers side was ****ing stupid! to get off! I didnt paint mine till this month when i did the white and the lights. I broke all but one of the clips on it trying to get it out, still dont know, even with looking at it out of the car how the hell you are supposed to get it out haha.
Im going to paint the passengers side airbag thing. above the glove box, because its plastic. ill post up pics-

yea i did. lol i just took it back out a few days ago i have a few others to paint i took some pics with my iphone but it was dark in the garage and you cant really. Ive done the part underneath the steer wheel, the speedometer plastic on the inside, and the plastic above that, i think thats all im going to do im not sure yet. its dark but you get the idea.






i got a few chips next to my ebrake because it wasnt cured completely and im bumped into the door and chipped it. I was hoping i could just spray some into a glass bowl and take a paint brush and paint over it.

I'm going to proboly just put it back in in a few days when i can post up the pictures of the wiring underneth the steering wheel.

Looks awesome! and try some black tire shine for the sun damage, worked for me, mine was not as bad though.
And if you just spray a q-tip with the paint you can spread it on chips, just do it a few times and let it dry.
looks good though your the second person i've ever seen with it, including myself

I'll try that I might just coat it again while it's out of the car. I wanted to out super bright LEDs for my dome lights and change my speedo lights to just a bright white.

mgnt232

#49

Yeah I wired up a 15" flexible LED strip into my dome light, and it lights up the whole car and the ground around when you open the door, but its a blue light so it looks cool, but not all that effective if you are actually looking for something lol

and the gauges lights are a MUST! the stock color is sooooo ugly! in my opinion, I changed it to red and they look really aggressive!
good luck-
