I did, and i used krylon plastic paint (rattle can) it came out good, but i plan on sanding it down and spending the money to get a spray gun and doing it the right way.


(keep in mind it is RED) but i took the pics during noon lighting, which is the worst lighting for photography in terms of hue accuracy and brightness.
Pics:











and... some photoshopness.

thx hunter. well i work at a dealer and i've done a few favors for some of the body shop guys so they do me favors for a good price when i need it. i've got more to do just i've got to keep it down to small items as we can only do it on saturdays as they are busy as hell during the week. oh and i highly suggest getting a couple of layers of clearcoat put on as well.

that is the odd thing... I used 4 coats of clearcoat! but it obviously didn't take very well to the pieces, which is why i'm gonna sand it down, and do it again the right way.

there are 2 differen't kinds of clear coat. you have a dull clear coat which just offers protection and then you have a glossy clear coat which by its name offers that nice little shine to things.

Dude simple, but FRIGGIN COOL LOOKIN! i'm very impressed, one thing i have noticed though, is the krylon doesn't stick to well to the under panels ( glove box, under steering panel, etc.) any thoughts?

Also, outtamymind, gonna clean that whip buddy? lol

I also used the satin black and it matches the dash nicely

thanks for the comments guys

i'm still debating whether or not i wanna do anything else in there. i'm got all my focus working on the exterior right now but i'm thinking i have to do something with those seats and maybe even the door inserts. also, i'm not sure about the krylon with the under panels but so far it's sticking to the door panels perfectly! not a scratch/chip in it yet!
