my dreaded interior :(

You could always use some fiberglass, body filler, sand paper and do it right.. or if your into this project, try using tweed fabric.

Exactly what I'm doing! :thumbsup: Except for the "tweed fabric." What is this "tweed fabric" you speak of, for those of us that don't know? lol

here soon i am going to redo all my shit (yet again) and use automotive paint, make sure it is on there good a hard, get have to get teh paint gun and air compressor back out,

Except for the "tweed fabric." What is this "tweed fabric" you speak of, for those of us that don't know? lolThis is tweed http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/yourautotrim-store_1907_16281090

I would never use that inside a car, the texture is FUGLY.

If its used right it can look pretty good.

i am using automotive paint on the plastic and vinyl and fabric paint on the...vinyl and fabric, lol.

i am using automotive paint on the plastic and vinyl and fabric paint on the...vinyl and fabric, lol.I'm guessing your sanding and using primer before you spray the paint right???

yup... maybe my painters tape sucks.. or maybe I should have let it dry longer. I dunno I let it dry overnight and I'm getting ready to go try again here in like an hour... so we'll see..if it comes off, i'll just repaint it and use some plastic or something... however...mark my words, I'll get the job done, lol.

haha yeah I definatley suggest letting it dry over night before messing around with it. Learned the hard way. lol

bake it, i put a heat lamp in my "shop area" and then set the pieces under it,

I tried it outside, in like 90+ degree temps, lol.

bake it :1: thats what I did when I tinted my tails.

You can hide alot of imperfections behind the stuff.

Tweed if used right can look very good IMO. Here is a couple more examples

seen it in a few cars here and there

show offs, lol.

show offs, lol.lol those arent our cars with the tweed in them. especially the one I posted. Now do you really think that I would have heart designs on the inside of my car?? :rofl:

Okay, the examples with flames and stuff are cool but the one Cody sent that looked like the whole interior was tweed, thats just plain ugly IMO. How would you do designs and stuff, somehow make them and then just tightly lay the tweed over them?

to get the designs in the tweed you take like a stiff cushion material and then lay the tweed over. after the tweed is on then you take like a puddy knife or whatever and trace around the cushion underneath. do you follow that or is it confusing?? lol

Clear, crystal....clear. Hmmm, maybe i'll try something like that with my ceiling. Do the designs only work well with tweed? No right? I could use whatever?

you can do it with just about anything really.. leather looks fuckin hot!!! IMO

Ew, hate suede.I really dont care for it either it was just an example.

okay...so what happens at 100 posts? lol

sweet, i'm an AF Enthusiast, now worship me, lol.

I really like this design with the dices in it minus the leapord skin of course :lol: http://www.theinshop.com/images/0006.jpg

lol you and My99 have a ways to go to catch up to KustmAce, I have no doubt that My99 will :lol:

How do you set it tho? You can't obviously staple gun all around it, hot glue gun or something?

How do you set it tho? You can't obviously staple gun all around it, hot glue gun or something?well if you want to do it the correct way then you use spray glue and then lay your material over it and trace around that pattern.

I have no doubt that My99 will :lol: haha very funny.

Your not sanding the pieces are you?? I dont like that ruff look and texture it has without sanding, but other than that it looks really good man. :1: for you bro.

i've cleaned, sanded, and recleaned each piece...where does it look ruff :( lol.

The picture of your headunit like that dash bezel around that and your one mirror thing.

the mirror is fabric, the white is paint...I didn't sand the bezel b/c it was..bezel, lol. ohw ell..

Oooo you should see mine now, primered then sanded, even the primer is already glossy!

the mirror is fabric, the white is paint...I didn't sand the bezel b/c it was..bezel, lol. ohw ell..I'm not talking about that mirror, your side mirror. the inside part of it.

looks good what kind of paint did you use and did you just tape everything off

for the doors, I just put one strip of ptape and stuck a sheet to it. I painted it all white first...then the bottom red overlapping onto the white, and then I taped the bottom half and touched up the top white.. For everything else you see, it was taken out of the car and painted..minus the top platic/vinyl piece, it's like attached to the whole front end, so I just used plastic, and cardboard and lots of tape, to do that part, lol.

ohh!!! the side mirrors. I thought you meant the mirrors themselves..yeah i'm an idiot. I think it's a combination from the flash and the curve..cuz it feels smooth..ish, lol.

ohh!!! the side mirrors. I thought you meant the mirrors themselves..yeah i'm an idiot. I think it's a combination from the flash and the curve..cuz it feels smooth..ish, lol.ohhh ok well it looks really good man. im jealous lol makes me want to get my ass in gear and do the rest of mine.

omg, you mean something I did actually looks good, and isn't stupid or why would I do that? or ..I think I just got a compliment, this is so much better then getting bashed... lol. THANKS!!!! :D

i got bashed lol

omg, you mean something I did actually looks good, and isn't stupid or why would I do that? or ..I think I just got a compliment, this is so much better then getting bashed... lol. THANKS!!!! :DYeah man I think your work turned out REALLY good. Like I said im jealous lol

i got bashed lol Hell yeah you did steve-o lol :owned: :flipa:

yea man your shit looks look, makes me want to pick mine up off the floor and throw it and then redo everything.

What brand paint did you use

If you look in the picture you can clearly see the Dupli color paint cans sitting there lol :thumbsup:

Hey derk, how'd you paint the lower dash? Like where the glovebox is and next to the glovebox and under the steering wheel? Did you just paint it inside the car?

i did my glove box thingy and took the entire thing out, paint the handle blue and the front white, the steering wheel thing comes out easliy

I took out everything, except for the top plastic piece below the windsheild, and then the lower part around the glove box and above your knees. I just put a sheet of cardboard over the windsheld, and draped a huge piece of plastic over the seats and doors and just painted it inside. There's a few flaws but I don't feel like fixing it.

Well....looks like I'm gonna be practicing my contortionist skills and sanding all the lower stuff while bending and flexing myself inside the interior....nah I'll just take the seats out. Good enough for me! :thumbsup:

yep yep and make for damn sure that you tape EVERYTHING that you don't want tape on, and i'm not kidding, if you do want paint on it make sure it is covered. seen people cover the complete inside and then the over spray hits thier outside paint

funniest thing happened today, I was attempting to fix my speedo, and once I put her back on I went to take my car for a test drive (disassembled) and I ran over my Dash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....!! yeah, that sucks, lol. I chipped my beautiful paint off the top of it where it slid under the gravel, and I broke the chip off inside the harness for my dimmer panel. However some good may come out of this, cuz I have an idea...I want to make a switch out of the spot where my dimmer panel was... Possibly make like a switch for my future neons and one for my N2O....hmm, anyone wanna help, lol.

omg I could also hook up inside neons to come on when the door opens...who was just talking about that like a couple weeks ago???oh well. anyway, I wanted to ask. Does anybody else have a GIANT F**KING CRACK down the middle of your dash? cuz like mine is really anyoing me...so I decided to fix it. In about 2 hours I'll take a picture of the finished product to show you all, but for now I must go...farewell.

you mean by the windshield
