soon to come pics from my 90 5spd, charcol grey with black interior, now with red acents. painted around the guages, door window controls, dash board bevels and air vents bevels, but not the air vents themselves, went all the way down to the shifter. also did the little rings that surround the door lock thingies, and the front window defroster vent, looks pretty cool but i need to re do some of it, ran out of paint...and can you believe that is it hard to actually find a can of kryol (sp?) paint in my area? wtf... speical thanks to Erik, tifosrv for helping me out and the digital camera. i'll post the pics tonight. still need to take pics of the final product

Looks good

 

what color should i paint the interior of my car? It's got a white exterior with charcoal interior. I was thinkin maybe blue? ALso, what kind of paint would i need to get and approximately how long does it take to dry? Thanks guys.

 

color is up to you. you WILL need at least (bare minimun two cans of primer, two cans of whatever color you want glossy paint, and at least one can of clearcoat / arcylic paint. and you're gonna need something to clean off all the armor all and other greasy crap before painting. you can do it all in a day 12+ hours if its 50-60 degrees out, the hotter the better, it'll dry faster. take your time, try not to over spray and cause runs. i'll have more pics need weekend hopefully

good luck

Hey, I am treading over to the 3rd gen part..ohh well, it was lots of fun to paint Alex's car, listen to what he says when you are about to paint, we went through it.

I did mine Blue on the inside heres a pick.

 

Wow, that looks great. What kinda of prep work did you do? How did you clean it? And "two cans of primer, two cans of whatever color you want glossy paint, and at least one can of clearcoat / arcylic paint" you put it on in that order?

 

looks real good. got any more pics? what kind of paint did you use and what order did you apply it in?

 

I only have this other one. I dont know the name of the paint, i forgot sorry. I got it at a performance shop for $5. Its only the paint, i have not put on clearcoat, i might change my whole interior.

 

looks good on both of them...i was thinking about doing mine in silver

 

wow i like it man, did you do the doors controls as well? what about the right most dash? i like the trim around the wheel controls. i need to re do some parts on mine, didn't come out perfect

 

I did mine yellow about a 2 years ago, Now I'm in the process of re-doing it in yellow tweed.

 

sorry for the bad pic, I sent the wrong one. I'll take another tomorrow.

 

No i didnt do the door controls, cause i was afraid people touch them to much and they would chip or somthin, tell me if yours do. I did do the vent on the far side of the dash if thats what your talking about. I took the cruise control apart to paint it. Its not hard, just got to remember how it goes back together. Yours looks good!

 

I'm in the process of doing mine over again. I just did it last week, the paint job came out ok, but the creamy color i used make my maroon, black, and tan interior look like "diarhea" accordin to my dad. Now i'm just debating a new color to start over in. Wish me luck.

 

hahaha diarhea cha cha cha

 

damn they both look good...the blue and the yellow. i went over mine recently just polished it up and such and it looked almost brand new (not painted or anything, i'd probably spaz and mess it up..i'm a girl!) but yeah now it looks like **** again...coloring the interior is a part of a huge list of crap i need to do...

number one is get my damn speakers!!!
