Well Epikk3 asked me how I did this so I'll tell ya. Basically, I stripped the car of all interior pieces cause I cant stand tan. With help from here or was it Corral, I was told to buy Dupl-Color interior dye and a can of Dupli-color Adhesion promoter. Now, there are other types of interior dye (I hear the stuff from 5.0 Resto is the best) out there, so choose the one ya want. Now, take some RED SCOTCHBRITE pads (equal to 300grit and wont remove the plastic texture) and a bottle of rubbing alcohol and get to work. You dont have to sand down the panels that much, just enough to knock off all the old armor all/cleaners.
Now, I'll give ya some advice on a couple things that I found out the hard way. DO NOT paint when it is humid. It will "blush" on ya and you will have to scuff it up again. Couple light coats and you are done. ALSO, I thought that FLAT BLACK would be real flat so I painted the rear panels and doors using the gloss. It's a little on the shiny side and I should have used flat. The Dupli-Color flat black is pretty much a straight match to the upper dash, which I left untouched.
The only parts I bought before I attempted painting were the center console and steering wheel. Of course ya wanna buy a black steering wheel, cause over time all you are gonna do id wear the paint off. The steering wheel was $51 w/shipping courtesy of Ebay. I also bought a black carpet out of a wrecked stang. Think I got that off one of the stang sites. The red painted pieces were done by a member of Stangnet and he did a bang up job. Once I got the interior done my only dilema was the tan AC vents (fins) on the pass/driver side. What I did was (courtesy of Stangnet) find someone selling the black AC vents and center trim bezel (my center trim vents are busted) and bought them. Im in the process of painting those now. Well, here ya go,,,picutre time. Comments,,both good and bad are appreciated. Wade
