Interior Updates 2 - NEW pics, and lights :), Basically finished- Options

[mgnt232]

If you have any input, or want me to try something, tell me
So I started a long time ago painting the interior pieces, and have had some lighting thoughts, that just made their way to be real

Finished paint (have more ideas, but for now)

Started today with the door handle LED (someone else's idea, but :)thanks)
Anyone who wants to do it, make sure you test fit! I didnt and got everything back on and realized the hole i drilled was not placed right, so I had to take it all apart and fill in the whole

The light (its not real dark out, will get better pics)

Handle light, in the dark-

Driver

Passenger

Changed the clock color (actually wanted red, but the red made it white? idk but I like it)

Now for some of my own idea's (need to finish up tomorrow)
I put in LED's in the "heat vents"
I placed them in strategically where the actual light would not be seen, from where you sit, but it would reflect off the new white paint and glow inside the vent (phone pics do not do it justice)

Whole Picture 2-

NEWEST LED'S

My cig lighter is out so its just a hole, as you can see by the first pic, so I put an LED inside, far into the back and the whole area glows, looks pretty cool


Next pic is very hard to see but its where the E-Brake is, on the inside (not the button end) (will try to get a better pic,it lights up most of the E-Brake Handle which you cant see.


All on a new switch (love the placement )

To paint your interior what did you use paint, sand ext ? I'm looking to do mine in white and black.

[mgnt232]

I just painted mine with Krylon paint for plastics (it works the best, can find it at walmart). I have never had anything chip, as long as you coat it a few times evenly it will be fine.
Of course I never ever do anything in my car that would cause it to chip, as long as your careful it will be fine
Some people say clear coating it works to keep it in good shape, and I imagine sanding it and priming wouldn't hurt, but its cheapest to just grab a few cans of paint and its all good.

oh and heads up, the passenger side heat vent=BITCH to take off, you need a few screwdrivers and I broke most of the clips, couldn't figure out how to actually take it off, but one clip is still enough to hold it.
