interior paint job

[Civic Rush]

do you have a space heater or something that you can use to warm up you garage. And as for painting inside just set up a fan afterwords. They wont be any smell. My wife yells at me all of the time for doing shit like that. But they will get over it. LOL

[blueturtle]

lol we have a little heater for the bathroom


and normaly they won;t care but god forbid that smells around with my 8 month old brother

bastards

This is what I would tell them, I will have the door closed and a fan a the bottom of the stairs so the smell does not go upstairs. I mean you do want you son to be happy right. LOL guilt trip

no no no that is what you are supposed to tell your parents. And I would use the 320. If it would have been A typo then someone else would have caught it. But I could be wrong

No it is really easy, but the ony thing is that I could not get my steering wheel off............

[blueturtle]

what i need to know how to get off is the vents on the door and the dash board i wanna get those to be red too

and how do u take off the dash?

[Stali08]

all u have to do is just pop the H off the steering wheel, then there should be a nut behind that, take that off and just pull it off. Thats how i was told.

my steering wheel is simple, just pop the horn off, there is a giant bolt right there, take it off and walla, steering wheel is off, the fun part is getting it lined back up when you put it back on.

Yea that makes me feel better about putting on a new steering wheel, just have to make sure u dont turn the little thing when the steering wheel is off right?

Oh and 1990civic that interior is hot.

[blueturtle]

umm yeah so how do i take all of the vents off??

To me painting the interior is only a temporary way to do it. If you want to do it right that vinyl it or dye the pieces. Vinyl can be found at a fabric store pretty cheap, my friend did his whole for about $35.00. You have to have some patience to do vinyl but the results are worth it, and they don't wear like spray paint.

yeah but if you clear coat the paint with enamel it will last
