Was checking the other posts, found out an idea how to paint my interior.
Any body have anything current on what I can use, was going to use Krylon. Going for a light tan or cream color.

How do you also color or paint the fabric/cloth that is on the driver and
passengers doors.

Are you serious, crayons? Or are u just playin'?

Of course he is playing. You need to melt Gummy Bears into a warm goo and then brush the goo onto the interior plastic. When it cools down, you will have a nice new, sweet, fruity, chewey interior!

YUM!

.....

Seriously, this is the tuff you want to use: Krylon Fusion.

Thanx alot, I will still get the gummy bears though.

The Krylon wont mess up the fabric on the driver and passenger doors?

DO NOT PAINT with the door panels still on the doors!

Remove the door panels, and then from the back of the door panels, unfold the tabs that hold the fabric covered ram rest in place.
You will have to pry the arm rests off once you have unfolded the lock tabs because it is glued on, too.

Once you have the panel off and the arm rests removed, then paint with several light coats so the panel is covered evenly.

It would be a very good idea to clean the door panel with denatured alcohol to break up any oil and remove any impurities from the surfaces that will be painted.

I wonder if that new paint fills in the texture in the plastic. That's the part that drives me nuts the most. I hate the "rubbermaid" interior that GM and other car makers use.

that krylon fusion paint does not fill in the rubbermaid effect thats on the dashwork, the only way you can get rid of that is to wetsand your dash pieces down and primer, paint, and then clearcoat it afterwards, the krylon paint comes off when you use armorall on it so i would definately recommend clearcoating it, ill have pictures of my dash before wetsanding and everything else with the rubbermaid effect soon

Wetsanding the "rubbermaid" plastic... obviously you haven't tried it yet. That plastic is really REALLY hard. I was using 80 grit at one point and it still wasn't smoothing out that fast. Just take you time with it and it'll get done right.

I wonder what the gummy bear coating needs clear coating or if it will peel off with armor all?

LOL

Personally, I like the textured look of the interior plastic better than the smooth look ... but that is just me.
