Alsa has now sponsered my tC and as part of that I got a shipment of some killer cans. The new cans spray true automotove paint, to match whatever paint you had purchased from them. My exterior was painted Aqua Blue, so I had the same color cans shipped to me. Needless to say, my interior finally truely matches my exterior. Better pics to come!

 

That looks awesome. Did you put any clearcoat over that?

 

Yes I did two layers. I'll upload some pics of it installed right now. It's late at night so I'm only using a flash. Tomorrow I'll be taking a few day time pictures.

 

That looks really good.

 

Ok here's two new pics... I know there's a red rag behind my screen. I switched dashes and didn't have time to fiberglass the new one. I'll be making a trim piece tomorrow and carpeting it to seal up that whole gap around and above the radio. Then it'll actually look good!

 

That paint looks sick. I might have to get some of that!
did you wet sand or anything?

 

Man that cameout looking awesome.

 

Nice Joe. Looks like Alsa paint holds well on plastic too! ;)

 

mmm...kinda too 90's.

 

i love it...props

 

it looks a little dull to me....i dunno something about rattle can anything vs. the true paint....

it just doesnt look like it has any gloss...also...do that hazard button!!!

 

wow that's friggin awesome

 

wow.. yes... hazard button! that looks nice nick.... that does help it out alot!

 

I think it defiantly needs a coat of DuPont Croma Clear. You can get it in aerosol forum from any paint supply store...

 

this is totally off topic here but joe how did you mount your 5700 in the bottom like that? i have mine up top where my bracket put it. is this a different bracket? have you tried to set it back further to put the door back on? i'm almost ready to get rid of it for a 6800

 

Do you mind going over all the supplies and the steps to get results like yours?

 

i work in a bodyshop...so i used the real automotive paint. no rattle cans...no nothing like that. that sthe same stuff you'd use on the outside of your car

that being said..i cant realy go into the steps because there are none. unless you know how to paint..if you do, then i can explain in further detail..or heck if you wantme to just ask and i wil.

 

Yeah, if you don't mind. Just kindda go over the steps, what type of sand and how many coat, etc.

Oh BTW, where can I get quality paint, beside going to a body shop?

you can order everything you'll need and they even have a nifty thing that will tell you what to buy based on what you are doing. they'll even send you any paint they can mix, in a rattle can. including automotive paint.

 

first scuff the serface with 600 grit sandpaper.
then clean/whipe with a plastic surface cleaner
then spray a plastic adhesion promotor on once the cleaner has dried. (this will be out of a rattle can)
then wait about ten minutes or so for that to dry.
then you spray the color/clear on JUST like you would the exterior.

its pretty easy if you have the tools and access to paint and such.

let me know if you have any other questions.
