they all look really good....i think STL's black paint would look wayyy better in person cameras can play tricks sometimes

 

You are correct. Camera makes it look crappy.

I tried what you did looking for a FX4 with black interior and quickly gave up when they wanted ALOT of $$$$ for simple parts.

 

here's what to do take one during the day with flash off...

I have a question, what would look good on a Dark Shadow Gray truck with dark gray interior? all I want to paint is the black door inserts and radio bezel...

 

STL,

i agree and disagree. too much yellow WOULD be bad, but... i dont believe it should be 50/50, i think with yellow you need a little less just because of how much it sticks out. id say mostly black with yellow accents.

Tyler,

glad to see someone else rockin the yellow. seriously tho keep me updated it you paint anything else. i will let you be the test dummy =]

 

^ cody, i say do a mix of dark grey and a lighter grey (silver) stick with those two colors and it will look sweet.

 

Phil I think you should just leave the interior gray and yellow. Do the radio bezel and the side defrost vents and call it done.

 

Phil if you dont ever plan on changing the seats then gray would be best for you with yellow.

I had to do something the new black and red seats made the gray look bad. All the colors were annoying me I needed just two colors.

Cody my camera sucks ***** i could never get a descent shot if there isn't enough light.

 

I'm going to do the door handles, inside and out, plus the liftgate handle and mirrors (rearview and doormirrors)

 

yeah the Mazda miatas have a painted rear view mirror



says mazdaspeed on the mirror

 

That looks awesome.

sell me your gauge cluster!
it looks awsome

 

Just do one, its not that hard. You need a second vehicle for a few weeks.

Take things apart one step at a time, be careful, use common sense.

This spring I'll be doing alot more painting - I have a huge can of sonic blue, if you want me to paint parts for you I can.

 

This is what I use... Matches exterior perfect. I even used this to repaint my front bumper, and fascia.

 

JP, that looks great. Very nice colour too.

 

Thank Ford for the color, I just got the match for what was stock - but thanks for the compliment.

 

like the paint but you need to get some power windows!

 

Here are some better pictures so show my headliner doesnt look like butt.

JP what did that can cost?

 

JP, do you happen to have a picture of the cluster at night with it all lit up?

 

I got this can free. (yeah I got a hookup)

I do the engine work, another shop helps with fabrication/bodywork, So I can usually get a deal on paint supplies.

A couple of weeks before I got that I did spend 143$ on paint supplies.

1/2 pint of vinyl match paint (sonic blue)
1 pint of sonic blue
1 quart of clear
Clear activator
Color activator
plastic adhesion promoter
plastic primer
mixing sticks and ect....

 

I just love showing this pic....

sorry, not trying to rape the OP's thread, just responding to someone asking for the pic...

We should come up with a list together of all the reasonably paintable parts for the interior.

Like I said, I plan to do the door handles, inner and outer, liftgate handle, mirrors (out and in).

 

Nice!

 

x2. I would never get tired of driving at night if I had that to look at!

 

heh... A couple of times I remember it being 10PM this fall, and I would just go out in the garage in my pajamas and turn all the LED's on just to look at them, (embarrasing but true)

I've had it for a few months now, and its still cool but I always notice the little things that I need to do still, instead of the things I have done.

For example this interior paint bit, also the under-door handle LED job, and underbody LED's I'll be adding. I have the parts, its just too cold.

In spring I'll be driving my car again so the truck can come off the road for modding season.

I've been making clusters for civics, and a few other cars for spare cash to pay for my new wesico pistons.

 

man that blue is sick

 

not power windows FTL
