How do I properly paint my interior black??

[earthwonder83]

My Eclipse RS came in a gray. How would I paint it to get a professional look? What kind of paint. I prob need a primer, color, and clear. Anybody paint their interior before?

Ive painted my interior and its pretty simple, all you need to do is take out the parts that you want to paint, wipe them down and clean them real good, then get some good paint, propably the krylon fusion cuz its good for plastics and things of that sort, i dont think primer is absolutely necessary but its up to you, but make sure you have clear coat so your paint doesnt get messed up or dirty, then just pain them and put a few coats on and let them dry for a while to prevent smudges or anything, then carefully put them back in place, i have my interior done you can check it out @ www.cardomain.com/id/ghost1984 good luck with ur interior

Hey man. That was a good paint job on the interior. How difficult is it to remove all of the interior? Seems like it'd be a pain in the ass.

Hey listen!
Before you go ripping out everything and painting it all over there are a few tips I need to give you so you end up with a HIGH QUALITY product.
I have done all of my interiors on eery car that I have ever owned and I feel I have some tips that can save you a lot of headaches.
First Use common sense when you are doing this!
1.) Store bolts and screws (you'll have a ton of them!!!!!!) in plastic bags marked with a description of where they came from. i.e. Drivers Door Panel etc..

2.) take some time and take the pieces apart. (overspray is nasty looking and any pro wouldnt have any.) So for example When your doing the door take your time and take the defrost vent on the top of the door out! dont try to tape it. it wont look good.

3.) There are hidden screws often in many places. DONT GET FRUSTRATED AND PULL HARD!!!!! You will end up doing ireparable damage and end up with rattles everywhere.

4.)When doing your dash make sure and remove it! Many people try to paint there dash in there car. It hardly ever comes out clean. Plus you will get spray all over your windows.

5.) Lastly dont tape off unless you have to. Remember that when the designers made the car they went piece by piece so they rarely make pieces 2 in 1.

Well there you go good luck and if you arent going to do it patiently DONT DO IT!! It will end up worse then the nasty grey blue color.

The krylon FuZion is a good paint becuase it bonds to the surface well. I however use a high gloss standard krylon paint with a well prepped surface and havent cracked it once. Also for extra protection use Krystal Clear Acrylic Coating from Krylon.

GOOD LUCK
