i got mine under construction at the moment, never any time to work on it, I am going with a two tone metallic base/clear silver and dark silver, the truck is white, but will probably be changing that here within the next 2 months, colors undecided. if i knew how to post pics, id show the progress on my interior, nothing is rattle canned, I learned NOT to do that a few cars ago. since i cant post, ill explain, i took that stupid wal-mart peice of crap stereo housing out, and trashed it, I got a piece of aluminum from the scrap pile, cut it 1/2'' bigger than the big space in the radio bezel, bent al 4 corners at 90*. i scarred up the inside edge of the bezel, placed the peice where i wanted it, and glued it in using a plastic adhesive. after 24 hours, i marked where i wanted my cd player, and cut it out. now its mudding time. i applied thin coats of body filler to the aluminum going to the plastic, to create a smooth, fiberglassed look. It is now in the primer stages, just got done tonight with the 1st wetsanding, went back and filled small pinholes with glazing putty, and used a higer build primer to take the 320 scratches out, so now it sits, waiting to be wetsanded again, and painted next weekend.

So when you guys are painting your interior...do you dismantle the whole interior? or do you paint it just assembeld in the cab of the truck (dumb question probably) and if so, how do you take apart all the dash parts? i want my whole interior to be black instead of the crappy mud brown/tan color.

my interior painting method differed a bit... since youre dealing with all plastic pieces, which are usually harder for paint to adhere to... after i preped, i used an adhesion promoter in place of a primer coat. imo primer isnt needed in an application such as this. the adhesion promoter was followed by duplicolor colormatched paint on all the accent panels, and sem vinyl and fabric paint on every other panel. i left the black sem painted panels as is, but added a duplicolor clearcoat on the accent panels. they come in the small size rattle cans, and it has a clear top and says duplicolor import auto spray - clear top coat.

Im going to be painting a raido bezzel soon, tried with the one i have on the truck now like twice. same thing happend. paint ran, differnt texture in siffernt sports. i had someone wet sand it and it is smooth, not all the paint is done though. i want to get a new one and start over. or just get one so i dont without tunes, while i work on the one i have now. but since reading this. i have learned some stuff. I also learn when you spray the paint do light coats evenly. any edvice will be great. or even PM me too
