SEMs is usually sold at Auto Paint Store, we have a Crown Automotive (strictly auto paint) close buy me in that little village in the North, but any good Auto Paint Store should carry it.
The big thing about SEMs is that they maintain their colors batch to batch, so you can get a can today and go back for more in a week and still have the same color; that’s a biggy.
Price on the SEMs is a stopper but you get what you pay for.

What color are you thinking on, blk or silver.
I was thinking along the Silver line for the Radio Bezel and some small trim pieces but not sure of the exact color or SEMs number.

 

I was thinking about doing this cause mine is tan and i just cant stand it. will it cover did you use primer or anything special in prep work? Did you paint the cloth material on the doors too cause mine would have to be done since its all tan

 

his came out way too shiny. for the cloth pieces, i'd wrap them in black vinyl. easy to do. go back to your 31 vs 33 thread you started. you'll see what i posted there.

 

I used bulldog adhesion promoter first, then applied SEM, although I used a different type of SEM and ordered it all through Eastwood. I used around 10 cans on my interior. This was back in 2006 though, still holds up great 6 years later. All mine ever is covered in mud and pressure washed. lol

 

I've heard your interior looks awesome multiple times lol. How many cans of adhesion promoter did you use, if you remember?

 

idk about awesome, but i am really impressed how well it has held up. Its getting beat up now but if I touched some of it up it would look like new again.

I probably used 3-4 cans of that promoter. I did a lot more dis-assembly than the pics from this thread.

 

I'm doing this eventually. I plan to get a car to DD this summer so the Ranger can get more mods

 

Looks great! I will be doing this on my 88 project when the interior goes back together.

 

I had used SEM GM black and I forget what SEM I used on the doors, The cans where on the same rack just in the wrong spot. Noticed too late.steps below

Anyone need some black seat belts? lol

 

Actually YES! What are they from?

 

I didn't pull them when I went but they were in an 09 ranger

 

does anyone know if these will fit in a ranger im gunna be painting my interior and im just trying to get the misc. stuff like the carpet headliner sun visors because i start so i can do it all at once

still have the seat belts if so pm me and ill buy them

 

i didn't pull them they're probably still in that truck at the JY

 

well if you pull them and ship them to me ill buy them name the price with the re-tractors too if possible

 

they'll fit if you swap the ranger swivel onto the mustang swivel. Ranger is 3 screws not two

 

Why so many cans of adhesive promoter ? One can Is 17 bucks just seems like a lot of money I'm going to be doing this in couple months and was just curios

 

You don't want anything to flake or peel on the dash. or on any interior parts. Use quilty SEM products and this will look OEM like Beards.

 

I am going to use sem I was asking why so many cans of promoter, with a adhesive promoter you only should be using one coat of it on everything and 4 coats of paint is about 4-5 can s so why so many cans of promoter ? Earlier in the thread he said 4-5 cans of promoter I would think it would take less promoter than paint since the promoter only takes one coat

 

The stuff doesn't last very long and considering you have to do the entire cab it will take a few.you can buy a combo pack on Amazon for $30.

 

I can't wait to do this to mine. Was your carpet already black? I need to do something with my tan carpet

 

get a vinyl floor or replace the carpet. both are very easy but the vinyl floor GL with finding one

 

So I am going to do my headliner in black and figured I would do the back pillars/ a pillars and grab handle in black and find black sun visors so it wouldn't look so odd.

Problem is there are many blacks by Sems:





I am thinking more satin black due to the black that is on the door handle and the gauge cluster/radio trim...etc. Seems all stock blackness in the truck is not sihny?

Thanks,

Go with a semi gloss or satin. I did mine in a gloss and it was stupid. Looked good but satin is the way to go. Make it look factory not like gloss black spray paint. Lol.
