That blue is horrible.

 

Actually, I don't have any deep scratches... that's one of the reasons it took so long to sand everything for... I took it down to about 400 grit, and the scratches that are still left (there's one or two shallow scratches that aren't very noticeable) will disappear when I primer the pieces anyway.

Yeah, that's pretty much why I'm painting everything black... it'll look a lot better than the blue

 

I cant wait to see this. Its going to be pretty cool.

 

right on man...

dericeification FTW. Looks good

 

It was finally nice enough outside to paint. I didn't have any primer or kyrlon fusion, but I did have a can of gloss black engine enamel sitting around, and I figured, "why not?" (I have painted plastic with enamel before, and I've got to say, it stays on the plastic pretty well). Anyway, I managed to get the driver's door pieces painted, as well as the defroster vents on the dash. Originally, I wasn't sure about it because it's gloss black, but I think it looks pretty good (and there's no glare from it either).






Next up: Passenger door

 

it looks 1000x better, you can't even tell them from stock from the pics.

 

Wow, very nice man. Very clean looking too with that gloss paint.[sm=smiley20.gif]

 

i can tell it from stock, but it looks better than stock imo. very classy and subtle

 

Well, right now my interior is in pieces... the center console and dash trim are drying in the garage awaiting a few more coats. I basically ran out of paint, but luckily I'm not planning on going anywhere until monday, so I have plenty of time to pick up more paint and everything. If all goes according to plan, I could very well be done by monday.




^ Now that's glossy

These pieces need a few more coats of paint before I'm going to call them done, though...

The schedule:
Today-Center console/dash trim - ran out of paint
Tomorrow-Get more paint / finish console & dash, rear speaker grilles
Saturday-Passenger door, passenger heater vent, replace door fabric with black fabric
Sunday-finish up, put car back together, maybe clean up a few wires or something.

 

So sick looking! much much better than the blue.
