need help with red interior
#30
my suggestion...burn it lol j/k I just hate the red interior is all lol
If you do paint it, do it RIGHT!
1) Pull all the parts out
2) lightly sand with high grit sand paper or sanding sponge (http://www.google.com/products/catal...673&sa=title#p)
3) clean with dawn original soap and water
4) then let it dry and use a tack cloth (http://www.eastwood.com/crystal-tack-rags-box-12.html) and wipe down the entire part
5) if you want to keep the little grooves in the dash etc. use a thin primer and if you want to get rid of them use a high build primer
6) lightly sand again
7) more tack cloth
9) then paint 2-3 coats with a plastic paint like krylon.
10) (optional) if you get runs sand and repaint again if you care.
If you do not do this your paint will be sticky and/or will flake off. I've had friends just wash a paint and after a month there redoing it lol. So GL on what ever it is you end up doing.
lol and don't paint the carpet just get a roll of black carpet from a local parts store and redo it, its not very hard I've done a few, once all your interior is bolted in it wont move. also some double sided tape helps.
