okay.. the stock interior was doody brown, we painted it medium gray on top, and light gray on the bottom.. we removed EVERYTHING from the car lol.. door panels, dash board, center console, etc.. cleaned it real good, wet sanded it, dry sanded, primered, sanded again, primered again.. then put a coat of paint adhesive, then proceeded with 3 or 4 coats of paint, and 3 or 4 coats of clear coat. MAKE SURE U USE 500 DEGREE PAINT ON THE DASH BOARD or it will crack and fade from the sun. We used vinyl paint from Pep Boys on everything else.

Nasty Brown:







Nothing in the car lol





We layed everything out in my back yard on news papers to paint





Finished product.. we installed her radio in the process too.. and now she has brushed aluminum where the wood trim is, and a momo brushed aluminum shift knob too.. the carpets are still brown so it looks a lil funny lol but hte dash and all we painted looks soo hotttt





if ya have any questions on the process lemme kno.
