Shifter and radio bezel painted. [PICS]

[The Green GT]

It came out ok. The primer kinda globbed up ina few spots. Im gonna sand it down and prime it with something better tomorrow then Ill get it resprayed so its smoother. But I like it. It looks very nice. I can olny imaginw what it will look like once my interior is all black.

Dont mind all the crap on the floor. You all know you are messy when you have a project going on.

So what do you think? Do you like what I did to the shifter ring too?

 

[Henceforward]

Wet sand it all down, re-spray, wet sand that, then clear it.

i think it would be neat if you could put a dark tinted clear on it so that it wasnt so green and then really poped green in direct sunlight

It pretty much looks black when you are in the car. I had the flash on so you are seeing it when it "pops"
I dont know about your car, but mine is dark, and it pops in direct sunlight.

I got it for free.
My buddy works at a Ford dealership in the body shop and his boss lets them bring side jobs in and use all the supplies w/o having to pay for them.

The bezel is painted green. But the Bullit ring that was silver, is now black.

I plan on painting EVERYTHING black.

yeah man it looks REAL good... i wanna have my interior pieces painted that color green, especially the center because i dont touch it much since its an automatic... let me know if u can possibly hook me up ****er

i thought you used some of the parts store rattle can touch up paint that dosent match worth a damn, i used it on my K-member and it was waay lighter then the body color.

OH NO. I used the same paint that goes on the outside of the car. I actually used it from the same container that we used last time we painted something on my car. So its an exact match.

Have you ever seen how many colors are in DFG?

probably just the center bezels and the door panels... how much paint did he use? u no what, now that i think of it i know a guy who works for the Parts Shop @ a local Ford Dealership, i might as well just go ask him for prices on the paint if they do it there, no?

Go for it.
They should have what you need.

Looks cool, wanted to know how the paint would adhere to interior parts.

It adheres fine becasue we used a primer for plastics. But it was kinda thick and globbed up, so tomm Im gonna sand it and reprime it with something thinner.

I live in LA so I wont really have a problem with the cold. Plus we do it in a paint booth. The only thing is the humidity like doubles the drying time.

 

[Adam95GT]

true me being impatient as i am would always be touching it... and heat gunning it lol and left with my finger prints all over it

Looks good man! I need to repaint mine as well. PO used a cheap off color paint. I just have too many projects going on right now.


What's up with the steering wheel cover? Is your wheel all torn up? I know alot of the "tan" guys have to replace them a little sooner. Whatever you have to do .... just get rid of the cover, lol.

The steering wheel cover was my only option lol.

The LA sun literally cooked it like a steak. It looks like someone wiped their ass on the top. Ill try to remember to get a pic tommorrow.
The steering wheel and the seat are the worst 2 things in my car.
