Painted my interior trim

[My08]

.....think it turned out good. All I can say is good prep = good paint. Took a few quick pics before the sun set. Will post a better one during full sunlight.

Thank you. Certainly it's not as good as a professional with a gun could do but as far as a rattle can goes I think it's good. For someone as anal as I am i'm happy with it. I'm committed to the blue for now but black is definately a future possibility.

i think you did a good job. iv seen a lot of painted trim fails and this ... this is not a fail in my books.. you could always wrap it in cf vinyl .. shamless plug there.

Nope no clearcoat but i'm very pleased with the results regardless. I picked a terrible time of day to take pics though. It's actually a lot darker than it appears in the pics....more towards my exterior color(Imperial blue metallic?) like I intended.

Ok finally had a chance to get a better pic:

Should also mention that I took them back off and put 3 coats of clear on just for peace of mind.

thats nice someone before me painted what you painted but the little compartment on the left side of steering wheel. It's black but they made it run. for the four trim pieces are they hard to take off i know the passengar piece is just tabs.

If you pull them straight out with a lot of force they will come out...it may seem like your using too much force at first but trust me, nothing will break. Different story with the steering wheel pieces though...I can't seem to get them off.

[darklink991]

Ya over spring break im painting the trim pieces.

 

[cobalt123]

[darklink991]

My cobalt is the black and tan but the black top part is textured is there a paint that can copy the texture or no.

 

[cobalt123]
