painting interior

does anybody have any suggestions on painting the interior in my 2g,so far ive got down wet sanding the dash and all other vinyl parts , then using 4-5 coats of vinyl paint then a few clear coats......is there anything else im missing

not to be a dick, post this in the non-performance area next time. second sounds like youve covered your bases. Im not too keen on the clear...too shiny for me. Did you primer it first?

i used vinyal paint(excuse my spelling) and it didnt turn out too hot. I would go with the FUSION spray paint..i forget the brand name bit its good stuff..sold mostly everywhere such as home depot/lowe's..etc. I used that on a couple parts and it came out awesome..its like 5 bucks a can..works good.

OH SH#T i forgot about where i was posting it sorry, and i dont like the fusion, do they even make vinyl paint? I have my own paint made for me most of the time

oh and no primer you dont need primer really when doing vynil i dont think, but maybe ill try it and see if it makes it easier

no you dont REALLY need primer, just helps it stick better...if not especially here inTX, when the paint gets hot it has a tendency to sometimes start bubbling.


EDIT: Your avatar is distracting...i cant look away! And yes, they do make vinyl paint. You can get it at autozone and similiar places.

i painted my whole interior. i didn't sand it or anything. i just wiped it down with some silcon wax remover and then sprayed the paint. what i used was dupont vinyl color (something like that). i had it mixed to the color of my car and it turned out great. the only thing is, don't try to tape off parts that have already been painted because the tape will pull off the paint but i haven't had any problems with flaking or anything other than deep scratches and a little wearing on the door handles. it turned out really nice i thought.

i used catshair then primer then acouple coats of paint looks nice and no flakes scratches or bubbles

here's some pictures of what mine turned out like with the dupont vinyl color.

looks pretty good

dude that shit looks sick im gonna start painting in the morning , was it hard taking out the dash?

oh and did you have carpet on your doors? cause i do and im hoping its vinyl under it

I've always read that you should use vinyl dye not paint on interior parts. Is that what you guys are talking about? I was going to dye all the gray or beige parts black and then paint some parts silver like the center console and stuff. I thought you guys might want some of these how to's I had so here ya go. Tell me what you think.

well let me say that was verry unessasary and alot of unwated weight too

I think you could just sand the primer down if you want it smooth. But I really dont think that bondo will add that much weight I mean come on.

The 05 RSX Type-S interior is really nice IMO. I was thinking about trying to copy some of the stuff.

Its a cheap way to have the look of fiberglassing the interior, without spending $10,000 and who gives a shit about weight when the car is a show car.
