well for some of us we dont have access to a compressor/gun so i was wondering what other people have used to paint their interior of gutted cars.. i thought of trying the roll on paint they were using for exterior... well some good advice would be greatly appreciated... thanks in advanced

 

Dupli-Color auto spray and clear coat....

 

Wow, that looks really good.

 

nice! i was thinking about getting some nice fabric and get some spray adhesive and line up the rear part of my car

nice pedals

 

yeah but how well does the spray work.. i used just some crappy spray paint and im sure the dupli-color works and sticks better... but how well will that hold to being scratched and what not?

 

i wanna see more pics of that

 

What does everyone do with the rectangular "sleeves" that the wire harness runs through to get to the rear of the vehicle? (very close to the door sills) ?

 

^ ya that, and how far up are you guys going on the fire wall?

 

bump for more answers

 

I used duplicolor spray with engine enamel clear on my engine bay... I assume this would be about the same.

 

Just finished my brothers Midori EG the other day.











If you do it with a gun, I suggest you have good ventilation. It was pretty bad even in the downdraft.

 

OOOO k20 midori eg? sick!

YEAH! Just sent her back home today

 

any more pics from using th dupli-color spray paint... any one know how well it stands to scratching?

 

damn, thats how you do it

 

cost me $50 used rustoleum paint and rolled it on

 

I sprayed mine with Rustoleum Semi-Gloss white. Came out decent but after 2 years of use it needs to be touched up in a few spots. But white is hard to keep clean in general, especially when you carry a lot of **** in the car at times like I do. Here's a pic:

When I re-did my interior, I just used a couple cans of semi gloss black all over.


Then for the rear (since I decided to put my seats back in) I laid 2 coats of black trunk paint, which has a rough surface feel

I only went up to the insulation... but thats because I didnt mess with the wiring and stuff. You cant see it anyway.

 

these cars are lookin good anyone else having any pics of how they ran some of their wiring to tuck it a little bit

Its holding up great to scratches so far. The only major marks in the paint are where I keep my full size spare rim. It slides around quite a bit back there, so it wore down the paint in a few areas.

Stains are another story, however. Im always working on this car, and it seems like every time I go near the interior it shows another stain. Even just the grease on your fingertips will leave smudges and theyre a bitch to clean. I think thats mostly due to the fact that I didnt clearcoat it though, and the surface is actually kinda rough. I didnt clearcoat for a reason though....1 was so that it wasnt too shiny and reflective, causing distractions while driving...and 2, so that its easier to touch up.
