I did this with my last car, but I see that the head liner, a, b, and c pillars are plastic wrapped in stretched material...am I right?

Well I sanded down and all my old car a, b, c, primered, sanded, sprayed with certain paint for interior and headliner with a different one...looked MUCH BETTER. Anyone done this with your cobalts? I think maybe just the SS S/C have the stretched material over the plastic....

If so, what do you recomend? DIY on it? Reference? Pictures please

Thanks!

 

a piller and the others are just plastic. sand them down with 80, then 100, 150 etc. spray some adhesion promoter then filler primer. paint and clear

 

i used fabric... it was a pain in the ass!!! the pillers look great but the headliner needs to be taken down one more time.

 

^^^any pics?

 

what color do u use to get it to match the black dash??? i dont wanna paint and not match, since theirs a million diff colors does chevy sell black a and c pillars??

 

i used black suede and black spray paint. im in the process on reupholsterying my seats in black suede

 

Suede seats would be awesome.

 

yep cant wait

 

im in the middle of doing this right now.... if you want to keep the oem texture like me i used a gold 3m scuff pad with spies and hekker scuffing paste. scuffed everything down and rinsed it thourgly. apply an adhesion promotor and let it set for the time provided. im using paint code 848 which is the factory black color.

 

where do you get paint 848?

 

I have like a beige colored interior and I was wondering for that plastic material covering the center console, dash, pillars and all of that....what paint would you use? would just reguar black spray paint work and is there a special type of paint for it?

 

848 is the paint code you would supply a body shop or a body shop supply store to mix you the paint. you cant just get it in rattle can form. i have the benefit of being able to mix the stuff.

 

when i blacked out my sedan's interior i used krylon fusion "paint for plastics". i used the satin black, it wasn't too glossy or too flat.

 

did the colors match well?

 

Does any one have pics of the finished project? I have a half silver and half black dash and i want to paint everything black.

 

i have pics that i can post up later but i never did finish the top of the dash before trading the car in. that was the only gray thing left in the car, steering wheel included.

 

you dont have to do this......using 80 grit on plastic isnt the best idea either. if you are looking to keep your oem texture and not have a smooth finish take a grey or gold scuff pad and some scuffing paste with water and scuff them up really good. wash the parts good clean it apply adheasion promotor and spray your color.

if you want look in my build thread theres pics of mine.

 

alright thats fine, just want an idea of what it would look like.
