| Okay, so you wanna beable to paint your interior and save a good few hundred bucks, well thats fine. Heres what i did so go and try it. i have no responsability for my information below. you can use the info at your own risk. if you mess up, then shoot me an email or ask a friend........ |
| Stuff Needed -Good ol Walmart Paint "KRYLON" ..not the cheap brand though -Good ol Walmart Primer"KRYLON" ..white for brighter,grey for darker -200-400 grit Sandpaper ..depending on how smooth wanted -1500-2000 grit Auto Sandpaper ..get a good amount -Dupli Color Engine Enamel Clear ..for the shiny look -Good ol Walmart Clear "KRYLON" ..if ya want the not so shiny look |
| ooo FIRST OFF MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED ABOVE. |
|
ooo TAKE THE 200-400 GRIT PAPER AND START SANDING DOWN THE PIECES. WHEN PAINTING A CAR WE USUALLY USE 400. make sure you sand everything including the sides and parts where you think will be covered. |
|
ooo AFTER SANDING TO THE SMOOTHNESS YOU WANT TAKE IT FOR A CLEANING. spray it down, wash it, whatever. as long as its clean. you can either let air dry or be impatient and dry with a towl. |
|
ooo AFTER ITS TOTALLY DRY START WITH THE PRIMER. DO STRAIGHT SHORT STROKES. if you spray to much it will run. take your time, be patient and it will turn out nice! about 10-15 min inbetween is fine. |
|
ooo AFTER THE PLASTIC IS ALMOST TOTALLY COVERED WITH PRIMER, LET DRY. wait like 20 min for it to dry instead of 10-15. |
|
ooo TAKE THE 2000 GRIT PAPER AND SAND IT DOWN. MIGHT FEEL LIKE PUSHING. the paint is still not totally dry but the paper is so soft it kind of pushes the paint around to cover cracks and smooths out the hairs. feel with your hand to make sure its smooth like a babys butt. |
|
ooo AFTER SANDING, WIPE IT DOWN WITH A CLEAN CLOTH AND MAKE SURE NO SCRAPPING ARE LEFT. dont wash it. just rub it with your hand to make sure nothing is still there. |
|
ooo THEN YOU CAN START ON YOUR BASE COAT. DO THE SAME AS PRIMER. short, sweet, and be patient. better doing it right the first time. |
|
ooo AFTER DOING ABOUT 5-6 COATS YOU CAN START ON THE CLEAR. SAME AS BEFORE if you use engine clear the outcome will look closer to car paint. if you use walmart clear it will just look kinda shiney. i use engine clear. best bet |
|
ooo AFTER DOING ABOUT 4-5 COATS OF THIS THE PIECES MAY BE KINDA STICKY EVEN AFTER 20 MIN. just let it dry like overnight and trust me. the pieces will be nice and smooth and all shiney. |
| AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW THE STEPS ABOVE AND BE PATIENT YOUR OUTCOME WILL BE NICER THEN EXPECTED. TRUST ME! |
| ME | HOME | CAR |
