I found the SOM color of my 2.4L comes in spray cans. I always thought the accented colors looked nice inside the cobalts. Is there anyone who has tips or experience in adding accent painting? Specifically to things like the plastic part of the door armrest with the window buttons and lock unlock buttons (whatever thats called lol).

Perhaps its not really possible, or perhaps they just pop right off and can be painted and replaced. I really have no clue. Does anyone have any comments on this that might be helpful?

don't do it it looks ghey...

 

my white painted interior looks about 10x beter than tht shitty silver. not to mention most of the stock silver trim was chipped off after a year of having the car

 

painting looks best when you do good prep work, and take your time! it can look excellent if you are patient and take your time. clear coat, also, to protect from chipping and scratches.

 

like my artsy sanding shot? lol

 

holy huge pictures batman!

 

lol i fixed it before u commented

 

damn. well, they're kinda small now....but yes, quite artsy.

 

Tastefully done I suppose it can add to the car but most Cobalts I've seen with it done it looks like a paint bomb went off inside their car. There was a blue one one here the other day and it looked like Papa Smurf effin spooged all over the inside of the car...

 

lMAO have u seen ChevyCobalt08's interior?

 

have you seen the quote in my sig? haha

 

LMAO!!!! very ironic

 

haha, yeah, i saw that and i had to share it with all...

 

hang on I'll try and find the pictures of Papa smurfs little soldiers...

OK here ya go...

 

WTF! thts the ugliest interior i have ever seen. a pape smurf took a **** in there is wht happend

 

too much blue, but it looks like it's been well done. show judges love that kind of thing.

 

there is a huge thread about this there are plenty of tips in it... you should read through it b4 you do this

 

Blu3 V1p3r, would you happen to have a link to that? I'm at work on my blackberry and i cant search, Thanks!

I've been thinking of replacing all the silver tim on my car with a deep blue but keeping the black... not sure though, anyone done this?

 

FWIW, that's not "accent painting"......that's a spaz with a spray can.

 

I got this car used and the silver ones in the door armrests all are chipped. Its the only "damage" to the interior of the car that I can find. i figure, what the heck, might as well make em look nice.

Also, I guess I didn't really do a forum search for this topic, so my apologies on that. But isn't it silly to take the time to reply to me telling me to search before I make a new topic, rather than help out and just link it if you know where it is?

Yes, that blue interior is um... not accent painting... lol. thanks for the link though, quite amusing! haha. I'm thinking of just doing the arm rest of the door, maybe the cupholders, and potentially the mounting plate for my new head unit.

 

The link for the thread is

there should be plenty of info there..

also not it was easier to tell you to search then it was to find this link and post it here

 

i have the black interior with the brushed looking trim...i like it though im sticking with the whole black and brushed look ...but if you do it ...dont over do it
