Tan. Much brighter and consistent with what you've got going. If you want to be a porche and try to look cool, you could put the black in, but if you want one cool 7 that people will say "hey" a totally tan interior will raise some eyebrows.

Mel,
Zero flaking or peeling at this time Buddy. It's been hot off and on in the upper 80's to 90's, so it looks like the SEM paint is pretty durable. Don't recommend the adhesion promoter on the dash though, better off with a good cleaning with dish soap and then maybe alittle scuffing.

The dashboard will get re-upholstered. When are you coming down to LA so you can paint mine. Free korean bbq and heine's.

thanks meng

I didn't use the SEM line but the Dupont line, and I have to say plus one on not using any adhesion promoter what so ever. Without the adhesion promoter, I can't even key the paint off with me tryinging pretty hard. You will see like a little scuff mark but not the paint taken out. With the adhesion promoter, Its not as good in the sun to start with, if the paint is touching (ie: the door panel touching the dash, one of the sides will give off in the heat as in stick to the other touching part. A keying it test shows that it can come off pretty effortlessly. You would think it would be the other way around but not. Trochoid said that it might be leaving too slick of a finish for the paint to actually adhere on, but I went by what the bottle said. Spray the adhesion promoter in one light coat, let dry for 5 minutes, and then one heavy coat, then let sit for 15 minutes, and after that spray your paint on there ...

I am sure hoping to get down for Sevenstock. Maybe sooner, If I come down sooner I'll take you up on the offer.

My door panels, seats, back seat are done already. Since I have to take apart the dashboard, I may as well polish the stock steering wheel and paint it along with the rest. I guess its time to bring out my spare FB parts and practice.





I want it similar to this

Just thought I would put some better pictures of the interior since I cleaned it up a bit recently. :-)


The rear wheel well covers and back trim need redoing as they have seen some abuse over the last 3 years.

Some other little touch is needed on the door sill plates and other small areas.
