sdparks Oil Changer	I-m not fond of the silver in the interior of the tC. It-s a car, not a laptop. Anyway, I-m repainting the silver bits. Here-s a sneak preview.[img]http://www.mindspring.com...le%20repaint/IMG_0045.JPG[/img]

unseen Hampton Bays New York, US Master Mechanic	yo i wish you would send those pictures to paint, and skew them some. its hard to see any of your photos because i have to stand on the other side of the room to discern anything.

cjimport Tech Advisor	lmao unseen!!! hahahaha i agree.....so what exactly is that? and what is what color? i have thought about painting my interior like my other cars. but i ve been debating with my self... i was going to do the gauge cluster when i had it apart, but wasnt sure on the color scheme......maybe after i see your stuff done..it can clear up my debate....

Umbrae Tech Advisor	here it is smaller

Repo1981 Detailer	is that the AC control panel? It looks like it.

unseen Hampton Bays New York, US Master Mechanic	now thats what im talking about. i like that a lot; you made me consider repainting mine. what did you use, and how did you do that?
[#] Apr 02, 2005 03:57pm
Umbrae Tech Advisor	i still can-t tell what the hell it is. A long shot perhaps?
[#] Apr 02, 2005 04:28pm
unseen Hampton Bays New York, US Master Mechanic	its the right side of the center console. the squares are for the mode, front defrost, and rear defrost. the circle is for the temp guage. i really like the texture, it will be interesting to see how it comes out.

cjimport Tech Advisor	ive been giving this some major thought. and doing a job for a friend today sealed the deal for me. he wanted to change his dash, but didnt want it to be permanent. so we vinyl wrapped all his dash pieces, im not talking like the B/S carbon fiber overlays. i hate those cheap things....they look so fake. i mean , wrapped the dash. they look sooo good. cant even tell its not factory. very nice glossy finish to it, so easy to keep clean...and it is very scratch resistant!! im going to do it to mine...that way if i dont like it...i can change it whenever i want without having to worry about, paint thinner, losing factory finish, or any other crap that could go wrong. i used to do paint...but im feelin the vinyl now. however umbrae.... i really have to give you props for that job. i do like that. has a powder coat look to it, yet the color is nice and even. great job!! give us some pics when your done, pics i mean, normal size and of whole dash...lol j/k man. nice job!!

unseen Hampton Bays New York, US Master Mechanic	hey cjimport, can you post a picture of your console work? i would like to get an idea.
[#] Apr 03, 2005 10:29am
cjimport Tech Advisor	ill take a pic of his dash today and post it for ya unseen. not a problem.
[#] Apr 03, 2005 12:23pm
cjimport Tech Advisor	here ya go unseen..... i just took them today. in the daylight. everythingwas black... now we wrapped everything in black vinyl first to give eveything the same gloss. then we went over it with the orange in the places we wanted to accent. here it is. like i said... very high gloss, scratch resistant. and no1. can easily be changed at anytime, with no chemicals!!!
[#] Apr 03, 2005 04:48pm
Repo1981 Detailer	wow, that looks cool.....I-m curious now.......how that would look in the TC. Not sure about the whole vinyl thing, never attemped something like this b4, is it an easy project?? I love the idea of being able to take it off if u get tired of it, instead of have to paint over it again.Is it possibile that whenever u put that in a tc u could do a DIY
[#] Apr 03, 2005 05:47pm
cjimport Tech Advisor	i am a production manager at a sign shop. so i do this stuff all day everyday. just have to be able to control your hands and a lil patience, but to answer you question, i can do a diy on this without doing it on a tc first. give me a day or 2. however im going to have it done on my tc this next weekend. so maybe i will wiat till then, cuz then i can do a photo diy. sound good? where are you at repo? ill give you a hand if your sorta close.

sdparks Oil Changer	Hey, that vinyl looks impressive. Looks much easier than painting. I wonder how the adhesive would hold up in Houston, though.Sorry to make you guys have to actually think about what part of the dash that was. Looks fine on my screen, but then I guess not everyone has a horizontal resolution of 1920. Most forums resize pics to fit the browser window.The paint is Rustoleum Satin Black on the sides, and Rustoleum Textured Black in the center. That Textured paint is fantastic. I got both at Lowe-s. The Satin is a little glossier than I wanted, so I may repaint the sides with flat and then buff it to match the trim piece on the front of the gauge cluster.I-ll keep you updated.

Repo1981 Detailer	I-m in Nassau County, NY. A photo DIY would be great man, can-t wait to see how it comes out.
[#] Apr 04, 2005 10:47am
cjimport Tech Advisor	sdparks...... well im moving to houston the 2nd week of may. i miss h-town...gotta come back..lol. anyway.... i like the satin finish, that came out real nice man. im gonna start my diy tonight..i decided..lol cuz i cant wait either. ill keep you all posted.
[#] Apr 04, 2005 11:04am
cjimport Tech Advisor	ok ladies and gentlemen. i havent posted the diy yet. only because i made everyone a video. so no i just have to do some editing. i took pics too just in case the video wont work. i did the entire console and inside the gauge cluster. i also found out that the outter cover on the dash for the gauges(the thing you pull off to get the gauges out?) doesnt want to hold vinyl, which really upset me, but im working on it. i think a light scotchbrite pad would do the trick without ruining the plastic or factory finish. ill keep ya posted on that. but here are some pics of what-s done so far. enjoy... and ask all the questions you want. p.s. im doing the doors, vents, -oh shit- bars, mirror, and i think thats it, next.
[#] Apr 06, 2005 02:33am
Scionic_tC Tech Advisor	sweet that looks good. make sure to make a check list of tools used to do project.
[#] Apr 06, 2005 09:11am
Repo1981 Detailer	lol @ oh shit bars....i thought i was the only one that used that reference...good stuff u-ve got here, can-t wait for that video.
