^Thats what i'm thinking? lol I think the red and black 2tone will look sweet IMO.

I don't know why i want to paint it Black i guess im just bored of the red. and the black will look more like a stock option but painting will have to wait cause its way too damn cold outside to paint now

Well here is my 2 cents and theories. I am in the process of doing my interior. I got a 97 Z24, unluckily got the beige and black interior.....plan on ripping out the back seats and door panels and replacing them with the black ones, and redo the ceiling carpet a different colour, and hopefully the ground carpet.....my theory is, I dont paint anything that will be touched or rubbed against a lot, IE door panel armrests, door handles, any of that because it will rub off and look bad in time, and will cause you to re paint. my interior is partially painted for now, its too cold out to go any further now, When I paint, I do not sand, I prime, paint, clearcoat. The best tool you could use when painting in your basement or shop, a HAIRDRYER, dries the coats so fast, cuts drying time like crazy. My interior is a red/white/black look so far, working towards more of a 40% white, 40% red, and 20% black look. Just need to do some massive junkyarding to replace these beige pieces for black ones and find a way to get the ceiling carpet off so I can re-fabricate it. I get a digicam in a week, maybe I'll throw some pictures up and make a car domain. Any suggestions or help welcome here!

So if your not sanding stuff then i guess your not going for the smooth look on all off your peices

Nope, I like texture, looks neat. Doing a lot of painting today......camera next week, youll see the progress then

i have black and tanish gray interior and plan on painting the black stuff green, do you guys think green and tanish gray will work?

[JStumpalump150]

oh, and im going to use krylon spray paint, is that good to use? it was the best brand i could find.

[JaysZ24]

i got silver krylon stuff n i kinda thought it was shitty cause the can sprays it to fast i used duplicolour and it has a different spray nozzele that works alot better IMO
