painting interior
 

im painting my dash,middle console in such white, but i want that shinny look to it. someone told me to primer it before spray painting then, like spraying like some sort of an clear cost over it. Also i was thinkin about buying that special interior paint that you see, but whats the difference between that and regular paint. If i get that will it give me that shine that im going for?

Re: painting interior (matto2413)
 

don't do it. you'll turn your interior into crap. every painted interior i've seen turns into crap. you might be able to get it to look shinny by putting on a clearcoat after you paint it, but it won't look good for long. that stuff always flakes off, and turns to crap. just a warning.

if you really must paint your interior make sure you also use the same brand paint so they won't counter-act with each other. and I also believe that there is a time in which u must apply the clear coat so no spider web cracking is involved

DOnt do it...

Re: (hawjboi)
 

personally you should paint the interior multiple colors...
use a clear coat on top...
to top it off , find some honda emblems and glue to them to your dashboard...
straight pimp, the bitches will love it...

Seriously though...I don't wanna make assumptions, but your info says your 18 and when you get a little older I garuntee you'll think what you did was tacky and you'll regret it. You won't wanna be driving around with some homemade colored interior once the people you're around get outta the highschool mentality etc. Just a little advice, but if you wanna do it that's your own call obviously.

Took the words right out my brain

Re: painting interior (matto2413)
 

i think the way people get it super shiny is by coating all the pieces in fiberglass and then painting the fiberglass, but i'm not sure.

i used to wanna do it and then i said teh no

Where do people get these ideas?? Super street? MTV pimp my ride?? WTF?!
