Finally finished.....

Re-painted bowtie, 2 years of sun whopped it's ass.












And before you ask yes I bought another AC module so if I sell the car I can swap it out so you can read it again, I only left the whole for the 3 small LEDs when you push the buttons.

And a teaser....I just clean the seats and conditioned them.



ENJOY!!!!!

 

stiff if you ask me. they aren't fat kid friendly! how do they compare to my seats??? lol



i think someone at GM said "you know what recaro... we're making our own!!"

nice job on the interior ryan.

 

Thanks Omar, lol at the "Fat Kid Friendly" I will admit they are much more comfortable than the Recaro's.....much much more, more than 30 mins in mine and I gotta get up. And I'm driving to DC tomorrow.

 

wow, looks professional, good job

are you also painting your bezels?

 

Bezels? On my doors? If so I painted those a while back ago, just need a sexy looking head unit so it won't stand out so much.

 

i got a sony if your interested in that. mp3 cap. too. fifty bucks

 

You gonna paint your HU face plate? The silver looks out of place in a sea of red. lol

 

Looks great! Wanna do mine next?

 

looks good but what u use to clean the SS on the seats.

 

im thinking of doing mine flat black, and yea i was hesitant on doing the A/C portion but itd look retarded black with a silver box

 

Next time we meet up bring it with you so I can check it out.

Waiting for some money to get a better HU.

LOL for a small price.

Well to start with I use the Mequires leather creme which helps a little, then I just get some ear swabs and Resolve and clean away. The Resolve really dries the leather so that's why I use ear swabs.

I was thinking about gloss black at first to go all black interior but I think the red came out good. I bought an extra A/C unit off someone on here for I think $25/shipped.

And thanks for the comments everyone.

 

will do. i'm going to throw it in the car already so i always have it

 

Aight man thanks.

 

whats the back to black for

 

Oh didn't notice that, you use it on your plastic black pieces if they get wax or sun baked. Kinda like the trim around the mirrors, yea wax is bad there, scrub this stuff in a little and it look good as new.

 

question at the risk of being newbish: what exactly is wet sanding? just sanding and pouring pater on while you're going at it?

 

i wanna paint my window switch bezel and bowties so do i just sand them down alittle and the start painting or do i have to do something else before painting

 

Get a small bucket and use hot water with a little bit of soap. It preserves the sand paper and you have no dust and is less harsh on the paint.

Sand them down with some 600 grit then get some primer and paint, then your choice to clear or wet sand.

I did my door bezels with 600 grit, Krylon Fusion and some clear then wax and it looks good.

 

for the bowtie do i do the same

 

I taped of the chrome/plastic around the bowtie to preserve the look. But yes the same. I did a How To sometime ago. Big pain in the ass....but the out come is awesome.

 

taping off the bowtie is probably the worst part of painting it

 

ok cool thanks alot bro

 

Taping anything sucks....but it's worth it in the end.

Yup no problem.
