It looks really good dude. Honestly, if you told me it was factory, i would believe it from those pics. I would be too scared to attempt this. I would worry about messing up. Great work. Especially with the Walmart spray paint lol. Thats the icing on the cake.

 

looks nice! I was worried that I was gunna click and see ricer blue or something lol

 

Krylon spray paints are one of the worst you can buy actually for the most part. I do a lot of art with aerosol paints, and Krylon is something no one would use. They use too much water in their paint and you cant change the tips out on the cans. But their line of plastic paint is actually the only paint I've found that actually bonds well to plastics. I bet a little buffing would remove any splotching.

 

Great job dude. Kinda worried myself too upon reading the title. I was like "OH NO! Not another colored dash!". props to you.

 

Haha I love how everyone was terrified of opening this thread

 

Well, most of us are used to opening these threads and seeing this:




Sadly enough, that's a picture of my old civic when I was like 16. In my defense, it wasn't long before it was black again:


(yes, I rocked an auto. That's one of the reasons I sold it... didn't want to pull the engine to just swap the transmission and didn't have the money for an h22 swap)


Oh, and while going through my photobucket, I found a pic of my friend's riced-out cavalier interior. This is what we were scared of seeing:

 

Lol Orange sherbert going on in that cavalier...I think I would have something like that to my car like 4 years ago....thank god I didn't have one

 

Krylon fusion is actually really good for the plastic parts, i use sem for all of the vinyl parts like the dash top which is not plastic but actually vacuum pressed vinyl. sem makes it look like it really did come that way. i did my old caprice i used to have using both fusion for the hard plastics and sem for the vinyl parts. i have some pics in my album. i do custom upholstery and i can say that fusion does work very well, you just need to have patience and do many VERY light coats.

other than that, the dash, door panels and center console look pretty good. nice job.

 

Turns out, ebay seats ARE a bad choice. While driving, my back rest unlocked and flew back causing me to spin my car. Luckily it was 12am on an isolated road. Now the back rest doesn't lock and moves freely back and forward. I threw in my old trusty stock seats guess you get what u pay for

 

Holy ****, I'd be contacting the distributor ASAP.


I bounced the hell out of mine before driving with them in the car, no signs of anything like that happening.
