Dope! I was thinking red myself with my classic silver!

isomswim · 02-15-2009, 02:12 PM

this looks freakin awesome and i want to do this in white. i have looked at almost every thread here and cant find a decent one for removing the radio/dash to paint it. any help?

black_bluexb2 · 02-15-2009, 02:41 PM

i havent done the whole dash yet. but the oval part around the radio comes off real easy. just grab it and pull.might be hard the first time but it gets easier i think ive taken mine off at least a dozen times.

isomswim · 02-15-2009, 05:12 PM

yeah finally figured it out just kinda reached into the vents and pulled it off. painting the rings right now. white.

sweet post some pics when your done.

isomswim · 02-15-2009, 08:35 PM

def going to just have to get my post numbers up before i can post pics. what all are you planning on painting im still going to try and paint the outside vents, the door handle where the buttons are and the part behind the handles, as well as the rest of the silver pieces around the lower dash

black_bluexb2 · 02-15-2009, 09:33 PM

i am planning on painting the pillars(blue), maybe the glovebox(not sure yet), and all the textured areas on the dash and doors i am in the process of painting silver now. thats all i have planned for now. but im sure ill think of more.

its looks SO sick. You have inspired me to do something similar to my dash pieces! I also have a similar 6x9 setup in my c-pillar but I have yet to cover them.

black_bluexb2 · 02-16-2009, 08:36 PM

do you have them hooked up to an amp? i just have them split of the front speakers and i cant hear them. im just waiting till i get a new HU cuz i dont wanna mess with a LOC for the stock one.

**NoLimitzInd** · 02-26-2009, 12:07 PM

looks good.

Saidas · 03-23-2009, 10:41 AM

What prep work did you do on the door handle cups and window control armrest panels? Just primer? And did you clear coat? Is the silver a good match for the stock mat silver finish?

It sounds like others beside myself would like to know which brands of paint you used. It looks really good btw!

black_bluexb2 · 03-23-2009, 05:09 PM

i used krylon indoor/outdoor spray paint.
As for prep work i just washed the pieces and then roughed them up with sandpaper, then washed again to get dust off. Then i just did 3 or so coats of the color. Then i did 2-3 coat of clear coat to seal it and that makes it a little bit shinier.
I also did my mirror covers and the trim piece over the license plate a while ago and should be putting pictures up of that this week sometime, after i wash my car.

I think i just wanna do what you did... Only i wanna do the other part around the shifter too, thats not blue on yours.. and around the air conditioning controls. Do those just snap off?

black_bluexb2 · 03-25-2009, 12:43 PM

the air control are is the only thing i dont know how to get off. sorry. but all the other pieces just pop off.

StykShift · 03-27-2009, 12:06 PM

I'm in the middle of the same process...problem is this is my everyday car and once I figure out how to pull each part out, I've been driving around with pieces missing in my car. It's pretty funny actually! I'm painting my pieces red and white.
