update on my interior conversion (pics)

While i was at Summit last night (for the 2nd night in the row) i got some vinyl paint i seen there from VHT. I know VHT paint is good because i used their "high temp" on my valve cover and was amazed with it. Being that it was only $7.95/can i got 2 of them. I read the can before i purchased them and it says "will not flake off, bonds to almost any interior pieces". So I got everything set up in the basement. I already had the rear panels out so i decided to try it out on those. Cleaned and prepped with dawn dish soap, then used 2000grit wet to get all the excess garbage out. Dried everything all off, and started to paint. Here's the before and after pics.

Before...


After...



Everything is still in the 'curing' process. The can says let it cure for 72 hours. It's already been at least 4. Just a few minutes ago I went and tried to scrape some off in an area you can't see. Nothing came off Hopefully it never comes off...I hate tan. Then to accent it, i'm still using the Metallic Silver model paint you get at wal-mart for like $2/can. I sprayed the rear speaker covers silver, and the little plastic piece for the sealbelt.

Oh, and i'm not sure if i posted about the carpet yet...Like 2 weeks ago i ordered black carpet from e-bay. Like $130 shipped. Got it 4 days later. It was kind of a bitch to get in considering you have to cut everything out yourself, but i finished it and it looks AMAZING. I'll get some pics of it later.
