Repainting the Interior, going through with it tomorrow (Sunday) Options

[Hym3n]

Just thought I'd make a topic for this. Bought the supplies today, and I'm going to be painting.. well.. everything I feel like tomorrow on my interior. Here's the details on what I have incase anyone is curious:

-Spray paint: Premium Rust-Oleum Hammered Silver (I'm not sure that this is what I thought it was in Home Depot, but if it turns out like the cap feels, then I'll be more than happy.. its a kind-of textured feel, and it'll make for a very original dash)

-Clear coat: American Accents Clear Top Coat (..generic)

-Liquid Sandpaper: Easy Liquid Sander (..generic)

-Rubbing Alcohol: Eckard.. brand (..generic)

And, I have a digital camera, but it's not in my posession at the moment, so I'll have pics up as soon as I can!

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=7]Hey man! I know how it is getting those pieces out... It takes a lot of patience but they do come out. I did a similar interior paint-job on my Celica and it's been doing fine for months. You said that your painted pieces looked fine but, then after you cleared them it became shifty? It might be that you used a clear that attacked the original spray paint. The clear might have been made for a different kind of paint. Here's my advice: 1) Make sure all of your pieces are EXTREMELY clean... I mean SOAK EM in Alcohol if that's what it takes, cuz dude, ANY armor-all or oil from people's hands will ruin it. 2) Use a spraypaint made for plastic. I used SEMS Plasticote Silver. 3) Make sure your clear is compatible with the paint. 4) Try using a product called BULLDOG Plastic Primer that's made to prep plastic for paint, as well as alcohol. I know it's a major pain dude but when it's done, it'll look hot! Tomorrow when I go to work I'll look at what I used and give you the actual names of the spraypaint, clear, and primer. Can't wait to see it when it's done!
