Customizing Question

I am looking to put paint some things on my dashboard blue and my dashboard is black. Also, i want to paint the area under my dashboard silver. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what kind of paint i can use on it and where i can buy it. If you have any ideas that i should do to my eclipse just send me a reply.

Re: Customizing Question

heheheh no ... you first sand the piece you are paintin with a gray or red scotch bright... then you use a tack rag and get all the dust off... then paint the desired color... base coat (the first coat) should be very light... then put a second coat to complete the paint ... then you can clear it so it is shiney and protected....

Re: Customizing Question

the clear helps it so the paint doesnt wear off and you can clean your dash with out wearing off the paint. and it makes it shiney!

Re: Customizing Question

i think that if you dont go over board and just use it to accent the car looks its good. I will see if I can get a hold of him tomorrow.

I am looking to put leather seats in my car and i was wondering if leather seats out of a 1997-1999 Sebring will fit in an eclipse. Cuz the inside of them are the exact same as the eclipse.
