Hey is it me or are the door panels a different color than the dash, or is that the way it was from the factory???
Just wondering

 

BlackR1: How many cans did you need to do all the plastic pieces?

Thanks!

 

Actually, the dash is a different color :p They might look different, but its because the light hits the paint at a different angle

It took about 2 and a half cans with a healthy amount of layers. At only 5 bucks a can, it beats shuckin out 200+ for cliched carbon fiber. The AC controls are all removeable, about 20 screws to dismantle all the ***** and buttons, after that, a lot of careful prying to remove the indicator labels which are tape/glued on. In retrospect, it might be a lot easier to use a blowdryer to soften the glue prior to removal.

I bought Easy Lift Off at the Hobby Store for 11 bucks...I used maybe 1/50th of the can, its a really good paint stripper

Next im gonna clear coat it

 

you guys need to take apart your car sometimes...just for the hell of it and you'll see how......

how were you able tp paint the door handles? they aren't removable are they? and by the way you are 100% correct this beats that chezzy carbon fiber that everyone seems to be getting? no offense to anyone but carbon fiber, unless your hood or your car's entire body, is played out. my opinion.

 

I just went to the hobby shop and got a can for 3 bucks.... Cant wait to get home..

 

Like what Johnny said... I've had my car for a few months now and this was the first time gutting the interior...I dont have the shop manual and just dove right in...it's an easy job, just takes some time


This link will assist you in removing the dash...everything else is fairly simple

I started painting tonight, in my room for that matter, god this stuff makes you high . Looks great so far, a lot beter than other plalstic paints, and it dries really quick....

 

DAAANNNGG! Man, that looks awesome! for real! I can't wait to get my Rex next week!, but my interiour is tan..... so what color should I go with>??? My exterior is black.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks
Allen

 

hey 93 Rex what are you doin saturday??? Hopefully some of us can get together, hopefully ill have my interior painted......

 

Looks great! Thanks for the info. Darker would probably look better, but the contrast is nice. How about a car Noah car cover ?I love mine. It knocks the inside temp down 10 - 20 degrees.

 

That's way cool! HoHooooooooo! I don't have to spend $250 bucks on a dashkit!!!!!
