Thanks Brian.

Where did you buy the paint? Ive been looking online but no luck yet.

 

i bought all my paint at a local professional paint/auto supply store called advanced color coatings. there are 3 places here in my area that sell it, and theyre all private, professional supply stores. i've never seen it in a big chain like walmart or kragen. if you can't find it, let me know and i'll get some quotes locally and ship it to ya for free :o) i think its like 9 or 10 bucks per can.

 

Thanks for the offer i appreciate it, but i finally found some on Eastwood for 9.49 a can. I think i will prolly buy a few cans and try it out on some stuff first.

Edit i ordered 3 cans. Might start on it this weekend.

thanks for the help.

 

no prob... going with black? make sure to document with muchos fotos ;o)

i'd like to see a black ranger with a creme interior and dark silver accents. kinda like the escalade interiors. mmmmm. sexzy.

 

that black floor jump start ya man

 

yea same color as yours. I already have the black carpet and the gray is starting to look pretty tachy.

any color is just about better than the everyone has it grey. lol

 

way to go on the truck that looks sweet!

 

my 04 dosent, so only 02,03

 

is $115 a good price for brand new molded carpet. wanting to go all black and want to buy brand new carpet instead of trying to find used black.

 

yeah thats a good price... thats about what i remember paying for mine.

 

cool, found it on partstrain.com

 

my question is this, to all those who have painted their interiors. plastice panels will shrink and expand in cold and hot weather, how have your pieces held up against that sort of movement? I would expect there to be some hair line cracks in the finished product after a few months,....

 

SEM, as well as other vinyl/fabric-specific products are made specifically to withstand that type of issue. i've had my interior painted for over a year and it still looks as good as the day i finished it. its roasted in the sun in 100+ degree weather, and been exposed to cold during the nights in 50 degree weather, and it hasnt caused a problem at all.

 

Must have been an option in "01 then cause my truck has it and im an "01

 

you mean black interior? do you happen to have an FX4? That would explain it ;o)

 

that SEM paint is worth every penny.

 

sick *** truck man.....so many sweet rides on here i feel like crap! I love the trucks and good lookin on the how to, i was wondering about it....just one thing...Friends on the TV's?!?!?!?!?! LOL

 

.

 

after messing my truck up trying the paint job in the wrong weather I discovered some products that might help some other people.

One was SEM flexible primer. If you need or want to make you dash flat after sanding it pretty good this is a nice place to start. Then I went over that (in one area, since its still work in progress). With Black satin SEM.

And the last product that I haven't used but found online was SEM clear satin, so that maybe when my gf decided to put her feet up on the dash it might not damage it as much :|

if anyones used a SEM clear coat let me know how it worked.

 

how did you paint your grill emblem to match your truck

 

There is no such thing as a 2001 FX4. And my 2001 xlt does not have that armrest.

I want to do the black interior bad!
