Spiffy Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 the blue looks really cool, especially with more done... but you gotta get the gray bits in the center console done... how you gonna do the doors? can you use that same paint on the cloth parts? or you gonna get blue door panels to start and just do the vinyl? --Spiffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I redid the top of the concel/lid black. if ur talkin about the plastic part under the stereo i didnt paint it cause the passenger side has a chunk broken off. im waiting to get a replacement... Im gonna paint all the window switch housings black and use the blue tool dip/rubberized spray for the vinal and black for the handel/armrests. Im gonna redo the carpet on the bottom of the doors with the same material but black. I also did my kick panels black and my glove box black. my overhead light housing is blue and the buttons are yellow my back hatch panel is blue up to the line then the top is yellow im surprised that noone is givin me advice or comments thats why i posted the pics.. to see what u guys n gals think:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mykeys Toy Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 The cheapest way is o go one of the CarToys tent events where they do the Sound Off. It will yield the most accurate results. The second way is to buy one of these http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103667&cp=&sr=1&origkw=decibel+meter&kw=decibel+meter&parentPage=search It works but it isn't real accurate. This one is middle of the road for accuracy but is probably the most expensive. but it also does a little more than measure SPL. http://mobileaudiocontrol.com/product.asp?Product_Id=14152&d_Id=5250&l1=5250&l2= Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaingoatgruff Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 i used the krylon fusion for plastic. awesome looking results:) (ace hardware or wallmart) anyone know how this stuff holds up? i've debated tying to help parts of my sunbaked interior with a similar product but i want to know how this stuff looks down the road.

one eye Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 anyone know how this stuff holds up? i've debated tying to help parts of my sunbaked interior with a similar product but i want to know how this stuff looks down the road. I painted my 83 Wagon with it. Seems to stick to metal too:rolleyes: I painted the plastic around the headlights and couldn't match the color so I just kept using it. It seems to stay on pretty good so far. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3eyedwagon Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 anyone know how this stuff holds up? i've debated tying to help parts of my sunbaked interior with a similar product but i want to know how this stuff looks down the road. Not to rain on this guys parade, but this stuff doesn't hold up real well over time. I've done it for a few friends, and did some black on a couple of my rigs over some stock tan. I HATE brown interiors. Anyways, with the normal use of my vehicles (things being loaded, unloaded, people getting in and out, panels getting bumped, and sometimes scraped) the paint quickly wore through, and/or chipped off of the plastic panels. I'm also pretty good about keeping things clean, and generally being careful with stuff, so it wasn't like I was abusive to this stuff. I think it would be ok in a rig that rarely gets things loaded into it, and it should work fine for pieces that don't get rubbed against, touched, move, that kind of stuff. But, I would definitley NOT reccomend it for vehicles that are used heavily, and not kept clean. I.E. Subarus! Sorry to bomb your thread with that man. Just wanted to answer the guys question. It looks really nice though. It looks like you took your time, and did a good job, a rare thing to see these days! Keep up the good stuff, and keep taking pride in your work man.
