New interior panels

[demented22]

After many attemps I finally got my panels painted and reinstalled. I was surprised at the shine from the clear coat. Paint matched the exterior perfect!

Details on paint you used and prep?

I will say it was a pita to get paint/primer/adhesion promotor to stick. I made three attempts at it. The thirs try went as follows: Wet sanded with 320 all paint/adhesion promotor from previous tries lol. Washed all panels with thinner. Then used an aerosol plastic prep that removes the mold release agents. I used the cleaner a total of 5 times this last attempt. Third sprayed two light coats of bulldog adhesion promotor. I have heard mixed reviews of this step. Some said the product is for soft plastics like bumpers and some said I had to use it. Fourth I sprayed three light coats of grey primer. I just used normal automotive primer for this. Cheated and used heat gun to speed up dry time. Next went the color. I used one whole can to do all the pieces. Very light coats the first two, then I sprayed slightly heavier. The paint is a base coat/clear coat in aerosol can. Once again broke out the heat gun, then spayed three coats of clear. The clear is a 2 part urethane clear. Highly suggest wearing gloves haha. I didn't and ended up with a yellow and then clear coated hand. That stuff was tuff to get off. Ended up having a burning and tingle in my hand for a day. I bought all products from www.repaintsupply.com

The painted parts look good, but not a fan of how it goes with everything else. Looks like it needs something.

Any other plans for the interior?

Looks good! Paint the center of your seats yellow! That would really set it off.

Yes, I have intentions on either custom covers or new seats. I am not a big fan of billet interior pieces, so not sure what I am going to do with rest. It was a start. Any suggestions?
