Yep, have some major plans for the interior. I dont want to have a custom car on the outside with crappy interior. :thumb:

top job, looks great :thumb:

looks sweet though how dose it match the rest of the interior

Im redoing all of the interior from the faded black to the new looking black so it will all match.

Did you use that duplicolor shit? I used it and it looked good till something touched it... shit would just chip off, and yes i sanded it if anyone asks.. but maybe theres something better :thumb:

I used a can of: Dupli-Color "Vinyl and Fabric"
seems to be working great on the plastic pieces so far, is that what your talking about that chipped (plastic or vinyl)

?

i painted the vinyl dash, and that turned out good, no chips or scratches. But the plastic pieces turned out pretty bad. so i just gutted it :thumb:

But i hope it turns out good for you

It might be that you sanded it and I wouldnt choose to sand plastic I would think to just clean whatever it is your painting and to make sure you get all of the cleaning products and grease, grim, and other sorts of stuff off.. Thats just a personal thing not saying that its wrong.

What exact pieces chipped?

Yeh I will make a DIY for this. :thumb:

i used simple green to clean all the grease and such off, then lightly sanded it with 400 grit sandpaper to help adhesion. the parts i didnt sand still chipped though. and i was gonna gut the car anyway (my DA integra) so i figured id try it... im grateful for the black Si interior in the hatch though
