interior painting

[atomicpulse]

I am looking to paint some of the interior of my s10, what would I need to do this such as prep work, then the paint i would use and if i would need to put a clear coat.

Try Krylon Fusion paints, the only prep is cleaning the plastic before applying the paint. Unless you want the smooth look then sanding would be your first step. I found that http://www.freemansupply.com/KrylonFusionPaint.htm has the best selection of colors. Hope this helps.

Have some taste when you do it.

Don't paint your interior parts white when you have green exterior paint for example.

I used Dupli-color auto paint. I sanded the dash bezel and other misc. interior parts smooth then used a filler primer (Dupli-color) to fill any small imperfections. A few coats of paint is best and finish it off w/ lots of clear coat. I've got picts. but I'm not used to this forum yet! Email me If you'd like to see them. [email protected]

Pint the interior parts the same color as the exterior.

[atomicpulse]

well my interior is black and the interior parts i am painting will be a nice shade of blue

[BlazerLT]

what color is your exterior.

[atomicpulse]

the exterior is also black

[BlazerLT]

I will be honest with you bro, don't go an off color like that, the interior will look like absolute shit when people look at it in a black truck.

[atomicpulse]

not the whole interior is going to be blue, just a few small pieces

[BlazerLT]

I know, I have seen people do it and it looks VERY VERY BAD.

Interior painting should match something on your truck and not some arbitrary color out of no where bro.

Painting it a different color just looks plain silly, unprofessioanl and people will honestly laugh at it.

Trust me, I have seen it happen.

i totally agree that it can look silly, i've seen it, thats why if i do it i will not over do it and make it look good. i have blue wiring under the hook and blue lights in my truck that look wicked at night so if i make anything blue in my truck it look good atleast i think..

I found that a 3M gray scotch brite pad and some rubbing compound works great.Just spray your part down with water then put some compound on the pad and scuff your part then rinse and dry and your good to go.Make sure the compound doesn't contain silicon.The problem with sanding is you will get scratch marks and then you will have to prime the part and sand again.It will look good when your done but is very time consuming.If you want to do it quicker then do the first process and it looks good also.Whatever way you do it make sure the PART IS CLEAN,if there is any Armorall on it you will get fisheyes and that will look like shit.My opion of a color would be a silver,charcoal,gray,something along that line.

Can you believe that Chevy put a Brown interior, in my Black Blazer... Good thing that my spare parts truck had a red interior, but I'm still re-fresh all the panels with Krylon Fusion paints, and they seem to work Great, Although I would prefer a black interior.
