oh man, not the autozone paint. i know advance has a nice vinyl paint that won't chip or rip. i did my center console with it and after 3 mos i have no scratches and it's a bit glossier than my dash is when i silicone it really good.

I NEED FROM THE FIRST THING

#1....
#2....
...so an on soforth

thx justin

there is actually a do it youself in some section of these forums if you find that it will tell you step by step. As for the paint i just went to autozone and looked on all the cans till i found the ones that said krylon and after i sprayed the color made sure i sprayed it a couple times with clear coat

#1 remove the parts

#2 Clean them with DAWN dish soap because it cuts the aromorall or whatever off...also warm water

#3 if painting vinyl no need for primer unless its vinyl primer..or else the vinyl paint wont be sticking to anything other than the primer.

#4 for a clean fiberglasslook your gonna need rubbing compound and 1000grit wet dry paper.........

#5 start painting......apply several lite coats.....i meen alot of coats...cause if you plan on sanding your gonna eat right through it........krylon fusion is plastic paint and needs no clearcoat.....also if you want to sand i reccomend lots of clear.....same brand as the paint you buy (use krylon or plastikote for plastic)

#6 after the parts have dried for about 24hours then you can sand.......get the sand paper wet and keep a bucket full of water close to you....sand the parts but dont over do it and eat through the clear......after you've sanded the parts go wash them off again in cold water...just makesure to get the dust from sanding off..........

#7 get the buffing compound out and buff the parts in a circular patern till there nice and shiny...remember to rub lightly or else you'll go through the clear....







Extra tips.........if you prime.......use a primer filler or surfacer.......since your parts prolly have texture it will help fill in the grooves and make a more smooth surface.....

makesure the rag you use for buffing is soft and clean....same as for taking off the compound.....



main thing thought is DO NOT get in a hurry.......it takes time.....and will look way better with patience........

i'm actually thinking of taking all my stuff out and redoing it
