Just thought I'd make a topic for this. Bought the supplies today, and I'm going to be painting.. well.. everything I feel like tomorrow on my interior. Here's the details on what I have incase anyone is curious:
-Spray paint: Premium Rust-Oleum Hammered Silver (I'm not sure that this is what I thought it was in Home Depot, but if it turns out like the cap feels, then I'll be more than happy.. its a kind-of textured feel, and it'll make for a very original dash) -Clear coat: American Accents Clear Top Coat (..generic) -Liquid Sandpaper: Easy Liquid Sander (..generic) -Rubbing Alcohol: Eckard.. brand (..generic) And, I have a digital camera, but it's not in my posession at the moment, so I'll have pics up as soon as I can! -Brian This post has been edited by Hym3n: Nov 15, 2003 - 11:04 PM |

Ha ha you made me laugh.... With some patience and some experience, you CAN MAKE EVERYTHING!!! And my interior is NOT ANYTJHING INPOSIBLE... Just take your time, AND DONT USE ANY PAINT THAT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR THE CARS!!! Use sprai paint that is designed for CAR USE (exterior), get good primer before painting, prime everything (if you painting in silver then get grey primer) sand it with liqued sandpaper, clean it with alcohol, paint it with few cotes, then let it dry, then again paint it with few coats and let it dry (do this for like 3 or 4 times), after that just use CLEAR COAT (IT MUST BE DESIGNED FOR CAR USE TOO) the more clear coat you add the more shiny it gets.. After the clear coat is dry, i used very smoth sandpaper to sand it down everything and then polish the surface with some pilishing compound... and after that you will get smooth surface that will shine  Good luck, and dont think that myne worked out from the first time (actually i'v done few more interiors before my celica, and my celica interior is repainted like 10 times already and im not satified with what it looks... The more you do, the more you learn...)Good luck man.. -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...
