Re: painting interior questions HELP

thats ALOT of work.. i suggest u get re-upholstered. like the roof and wut not. when they dismantle the interior to reupholster, you can paint the parts u want painted.

i only painted the lower dash and some trim in my car. that was as far as i was willing to go.

if u really want to do everything yourself, ive heard of sprays that change the color of the cloth. and buy a helms manual. it'll show u how dismantle your interior piece by piece. the interior pieces wont b that hard to paint. just remove them carefully and organize the screws and clips. to prep just wash them with dish washer soap. dry them well. [make sure to wear gloves. body oils tend to repel paint.] wipe it down with alcohol. primer. and spray many light coats of color. make sure the paint u use is for vinyl/plastic. the ones for metal will eat the parts.

as for the dash, thats a pain in the ass to remove. ive heard of people painting it while its still attached. not sure about the process.
