painting interior questions

i used the search option but am still confused,
im going to paint the dash trim and center console in my 04 and have afew questions, what grit sand paper should i use to get rid of the bumps in the plastic? can i use just any primer afer i sand and clean it?
and what color trim do yall think will go good with the standard black interior? also my exterior is metallic blue if that matters, oh yea anyone got any stuff that fits a 04 they wanna sell, lights body kits rims ect...

anyone

im not sure about the grits but after just use rubbing alcohol after and use a krylon plastic paint, they dont require primer, bond with the plastic. Just remember when painting the dash, the lighter the color, the more reflective and will reflect onto the windshield. You could match it with ur exterior which would look really nice, or a color that would really work well with the blue, go to their site, check all the different colors.

wellim currently doing the center console and that turning out to be a real bitc to do all the corners and the incide of the console already looks like shit so im gunna keep tryn , 2 coats to go on it , oh yea im doin red and im gunna primer black my exterior at some point if i can find some where to do it cause i live in a apt complex and the owners are ass that wont let you work on your car at all, not even clean the interior

ok well the console looks great and i did my first coat on the dash where the stereo is and it turned out like absolute shit, its all dotty like i didnt clean it but i did will it clear up next coat?

ok well i went to clear coat the center console and asked my g/f to hand me the clear coat so what does she do? hand me the adhesive paint so needless to say 3 hrs work on the console ruined not to menchion the console. what should i use to remove the paint?

Paint thinner or stripper. About the color reflecting on the windshield, my friend has blue, you barely notice it.

are you talking about painting the soft part of the dash cover? also how the hell do you get the window roller off to get the doo panel off?

Theres a horse shoe clip, you can jimmy it with a screw driver or go to any parts store and get a GM window crank removal tool. They are really slick.

I tried to take my window crank off with a screw driver and i couldn't get it... So eventually I went and got a butter knife... 2 seconds just popped right off

i see no clip

You will have to push the door in and pull out a little on the crank then look between the door and the crank you will see a little horse shoe clip that you will have to jimmy (refer to illustration)

well i bought the crank remover and no luck damnit, also i came up with a awsome idea today, you know those bezels you can put over the rear reflective part on the 03+ models? well i said screw it and im paining min plack BUT im gunna make it a bit different, the parts where the lenses raiseout from the main part a tiny bit are going to be the only parts not blacked out so it will look awsome i hope, ill buy a digi cam tomorrow so i can post some pics of my project, also came up with a project name for the car "Project Chevy Cavity"

well the main part of my interior is now painted, you can clicky my sig to see

ok im going to post some pics of the interior painting stages
