looking good. I like. What kind of paint are you using?

OMFG That looks sweet! How did you paint the door panels?

i used all the right paint primer coding all that and my interior still cracks like crazy i have to repaint it like everymonth


but i was thinking baout doing my hole interior like you did there but i didnt think it would look good but damn that looks nice

Looks sweet, bro! I have always liked the white-with-red-trim look on our 4G's.

The only completely successful way that I have heard to paint the interior of a 4G is to scrub the area with an abrasive such as an SOS pad, ensure it is totally clean, sand it with water and 320-grit sandpaper, clean again with paint thinner, and finally use a vinyl spray paint to finish.

I have no personal experience with this, but have heard that this will produce an excellent finish that won't come off. Best of luck!

looks pretty good man:cool: our cars dont look like theyre twins anymore :D when are you going to paint the exterior?

I am using Krylon Interior/Exterior paint. It's working really good!
i even took a screw driver and tried scratching the paint off, but it diddent even chip.

I took out the dash today, and GOD DAMN that is a BITCH to get out.
there are about 20 different pieces holding it on.

I'm hoping to paint the dash tomorrow pending on the weather.

The car SHOULD be painted with a 6 piece kit within the next 4-5months.

Black Widow Front, Invader Sides molded on, Z3 fenders, Extreme rear.
All the moldings are going to be shaved!!

i'll get some pics of the removed dash right now. so check back in a bit and i'll post them.

wow, remind me to never try to paint the entire dash, that looks like a bitch to get out.

Anyway, i got the center console trim (a/c radio) off my car, and need to know how to get the center vents off, I have done the side vents, and door handle moldings krylon grey.

Jeff:
That looks wicked dude. That dash sounds like a big ol' hassle. One question, how did you dye the fabric part of your door panel?

Melt:
I just painted my center console and vents (and other stuff). For me, the center vents were the easiest to remove... I think it was kind of loose. But if it's giving you a problem, I would recommend taking two coat-hangers, bending hooks in the end, stick them through the bottom louvre's in the vent, hooking them behind the vent, and then pulling the vent out with the coat-hangers...

Also, you said you got the bezel from around the AC/stereo removed? I was planning on doing that to paint it, but It's molded into the rest of the center console, isn't a seperate piece... As it was, I had to carefully mask around the bezel. It came out good though.

okay, i did the side vents, they ended up looking like shit, I bought new side vents off a friend who wrecked his 90 sedan and is parting it out. I am not going to try to do the vents again. Good thing i didnt do the centers cause he didnt still have em. I also did the plastic where the interior door handle/window control is, those look badass. I did my center bezel, but it looks kind of crappy, so i might take it out when I get around to it, sand it down and try again.

How i got the bezel out

There is a screw on the side near the bottom, Both sides.
Then there is a screw on the left side near the power mirror control. The other screw for the right side is inside the glove box, open it up and you should see it. After that you have to unplug the cig lighter.

Wait a minute, in reading your response, I think you already did what I described. Yeah, I masked off the stereo console bezel also.

So anyway, I will take some pix tommorow or so.

Damn that tight. Now I wanna do mine Silver/Black, but I'm a lazy man, so it probly wont happen :-(. Any chance any of u guys wanna come over and do it for me? There's 10 bucks in it for u :D . Anywho, awesome, totally awesome. :frog:

could you give us the low down on how you did it and how it feels to the touch?

I like your orange piller :)

bought another center piece at the junkyard, am going to put that in. As far as the stock one, I will sand it and see if I can paint it good but will probably end up throwing it away

i pulled my door panels off and painted em white but on the passanger side one i completly messed up rubbed it the paint got all clumpy then i put another coat of primer on and slicked it down with an exacto knife and it looks terrible...i mess it up pretty bad

yeah, dont paint your interior unless you got spare parts on hand. Cost me $20 for a new center. I painted the other one white and it looks decent now, I will see if I can sell it on ebay.

The vinyl part of the pannels are soft to the touch, just like stock.
The fabric sections are hard as hell, I actually scratched my elbow when i brushed up against it.
and the plastic pieces carry the stock texture, with a rough sorta feel.

As for how i did it....well thats a long story....
After spending 2 days totaly taking every interior pannel out of the car, i cleaned and primed all the pieces. Then applied the paint.. Let that dry for 2 days, then started installing it all back...

Now the dash on the other hand....
It is a BITCH to get out, about 2 hours of searching for ALL the places it was attached (by: wires, screws, bolts, steering column.) i got it loose. Now the dash is alot heavier & alot harder to manuver out of the car as you think. You SHOULD have 2 people to take it out.
It only took me 1 day to paint, and let dry... NOW tomorrow, i'm going to try and the the sucker installed again.

WISH ME LUCK !!
