anyone near simivalley know how to do this??

 

easy, step one...pull out waterfall step two...paint waterfall...step three...install once dry

jk but seriously, i just had a local shop spray mine real quick, cost me 50 bucks to do waterfall, gauge bezel, and the pieces on the door that you grab all in gloss black, i did the satin black on the inside of the waterfall to give it a nice two tone look, just be sure to clean off any cleaners/shine products you have used on it, best way is a paint cleaner they sell at at parts store, then scuff and shoot. also be sure to tape off the part around the hvac control **** so that you still see the cold to hot markings

heres mine:

 

that looks fantastic! whats your ****?

 

its the stock **** off a 2005 mustang gt, its screws right on, only thi i did was cut off the basethat it had for the shift boot so it would sit lower

 

thats effing sick! thats probably one of the cleanest and best color setups ive seen....

simple and clean=F@$#$ sick!

 

thats effing dope......

 

me like it

 

yeah, black was the only color i could go with, if i had a dark color car i would have done that, but white on the inside is too rice for me!!! thanks for the props!!

 

i live in simi valley if you need help

 

it takes time to do it right with sanding everything down and then painting etc....

 

that really looks amazing and clean awesome job

 

If any of you need this done. I can shoot it over a weekend. Im in Oxnard, Ca.

pm me.

 

I will do mine this weekend and post pics up. Then we will see how much. pm me if your still interested.

 

I painted mine Myself....I didnt take the "patience" and I F'ed it up!...lol....Oh Well...I did mine in Gloss Blk too!!!

 

is sanding necessary if you use something like krylon fusion? my girl wants to paint hers and i've got a can sitting in my garage.

 

Just scuff it. take the back of a sponge brillo to it and lightly scuff it.

I would also recommend using some type of undercoating to fill in any texture you might have. Like a Primer of sorts. All stuff you can get at an Autozone type place.

 

cool, thanks.

 

NO sanding!!

Just use Mineral Spirits to clean & dry completely.....

I tried using clearcoat...that messed it up!...

 

ok cool, thanks.

 

for the waterfall i used Krylon Fusion black paint for plastic. and the trim around the shifter and gauge cluster i used Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric black paint. but man i've been laggin it on resanding it and repainting what came out bad but what came out good looks nice just not to glossy as how i wanted it to come out.
