okay guys, read some of the post and got curious and had some extra interior parts and wanted to try to do the interior painting thing.

I went and got the Krylon Fusion White paint to try it since thats what a lot of people have got good results from.

It says no sanding or priming needed. I tried a few pieces with sanding and a few without.

It turned out really well suprisingly , however I used a cheap clear coat and didnt wait till the clear coat dried so it didnt turn out to well.

So for those of you who do it, make sure the clear coat dries lol.

Anyway these are a few pics of it right now, however when the rain stops I am going to pull them back out and try it again and do it the proper way this time.

without sanding

I read where a lot of people asked about the sanding so I wanted to try to hopefully answer some of those with these pictures.

Keep in mind I didnt do this right, thats why it looks like SH**

Ill post more pictures when I redo it the right way.

Also, I only did one coat as a trial thing. I suggest putting multiple coats on but Im sure you guys know that.

not bad looking, but I think it would have looked better to tape off the vertical slits in the vents (and the area around them) before you painted, so only the horizontal lines were showing...

Yeah. Good point. I wasnt really thinking or planning when I did that stuff. I mean that was kinda a test run to see how it turned out. Thats one of the reasons I did the small things that could easily be replaced ie the vents, radio trim ring etc.


I have about 3 pair of vents from other ga's so I have spares to toy around with so when I do it the next time Ill do that.

Im probably going to try to do it another way I read on here and I will deff. use your suggestion on taping \ masking the areas off.

Good point
Thanks
