Interior Car Pics

[2crunk]

I wanted to customize the inside of my 1995 eclipse, but haven't seen any pictures of other people doing this with their eclipse. Does anyone know a good website or can you guys here show me your pics? Also, what are some eclipse websites i can visit to order parts and get pics? Thanx for the help.

Remember to follow your own style when customizing your car after all you do not want to end up with something you do not like...like an annoying interior color...

this is not my car but i went off this car when i did my interior... i got a hold of the guy and he got me the seat covers that i took to a fabricator and had them sew them on... my interior looks identical to this car, and the white isnt actually that hard to keep clean... i like it!!!

are the plastic parts painted? if yes did you do it yourself? if yes what paint? and how many coats? thx

[EclipseRST]

yes i painted the plastic myself... i used the exterior white (same color as a white eclipse) and i used a spray gun and did it in my paint booth! i did 3 coats of paint and 2 coats of clear so i can armorall it and it will shine instead of remove the paint!

That is SWEET!!! I would love to do something like that to my car! Did you do all of it yourself (other than the sewing?). Was it difficult? I have been trying to get information on the proper way to do something like that! Did you have to rough up the plastic before you painted it? And you painted it with regular automotive paint (like PPG or equiv)? Just a normal clear coat? Please give me all the details. How did you do the shift boot and the visors? That is just fucking awesome! (sorry for the language )

Thats very nice. Is the mitsu symbol on the pass air bag vinyl or is it painted

[EclipseRST]

yes you need to sand them lightly so you dont get marks...800-1000 grit is was i used


i used regular automotive paint and a normal clear...

as for the Passanger air bag, i painted mine, made a template out of cloth and taped it to the cover so it made the perfect symbol!

So is that all there is to it....remove the parts from the car, sand, base, clear? Did you wetsand after the base or clear? I don't have a paint booth..do you think it would be better for me to remove them and take it to a paint shop or set something up in my garage (I have a gun, not a great one or anything, and a compressor)? Once everything is done does the paint hold up well or do you have to be very careful to avoid scratching? Thanks!

[EclipseRST]

well i spent quite a bit of time doing mine! it wasnt easy to do... and no i didnt wet sand it, its on plastic so it wouldnt work out too well!

if you really wanted to you could just get a plastic spray paint and some clear and be done with it!

the way i did mine is done so good that you can take armoral or any dash cleaner to it and the paint wont come off... it hasnt scratched or messed up at all so it has held up pretty well so far (1-1/2 yrs). it all depends on how you take care of your car and how you want to present it!

[spyderturbo007]

It looks pretty involved....Which is fine by me, nothing nice ever seems to come easy. For example, did you dismantle everything on the doors for painting (I see in the picture that only part of the door is painted) or did you just tape what you didn't want painted?
