Interior Paint Jobs, I know I know - Easy Q Options

[turboinduction]

Now I know every week someone posts something about painting the interiors. I've done this and it never looked that great. I have used dark blue, dark green, and a flame type red in some cars. They looked good, but not great. The cars still didn't look professional. Now Doggy's and Flipside's interiors look great. I dont know if its the color silver that doesnt look fake or just that they did something a little different than I and some others. I'm asking for a prep on how to paint interiors with actual name brand cleaners and which type of paint with name brands as well. If doggy and flipside will chirp in, i'd appriciate that as well

also, fyi - my interior will be silver with blue accents. car is black with blue accents. I want a finished product close to flipsides (he's my idol )

The best DIY paint guide I have seen is on the 7th Gen Celica site 'EverythingCelica.com'. The link to the guide is here:

As you can see, this guy really knows what he's talking about:


You need to register (free) on the site to view the whole guide but it is well worth it if you want a detailed guide to a professional finish.
