hey guys, i know a lot of you out there have done your interiors. i know a lot of us want to do our interiors. so i speak for all of us that want to but dont know how when i ask:

can you guide us through the steps of painting the interior?

1. what to do first, second, yada yada yada... what kind of paint should be use?

2. should be use spray cans or special thingamajigs?

3. where do we get those thingamajigs?

4. what kind of top coat do you put on there?

5. how longs it take to dry?

6. what conditions to do it in? do it inside or outside?

i know that's a lot guys, but for all ur fellow hyundai owner's out there, help us out! its greatly appreciated. thank you.

 

Here I go,
1. take everything out of the car you want sprayed.
2. wipe everything down make sure there is no dust or hairs on the surface you are about to spray.
3. get a spray can a primer you can propably find it at your local auto store.
4. depending on if you used a primer that needs to be sanded, you may have to sand alittle its up to you in how smooth it looks.
5. at your auto store there should be spray cans in the same area as the primer that say enamel paint( use the one that says for interior noe exterior), then just pick your color and spray right on top of the primer, in light layers.
6. I did mine outside on a windless and cloudless day, its really up to you butt make sure wherecer you do it the area is a well ventalted area.
7. But everything back make sure you put the same screws in the exact spot because some are longer than others and you don't want to screw through your new paint job.
8. Your all finished hope that !helps.

Nice looking Tib, I like the interior alot. Now I'm just trying to decide what color I should do mine, I have a red 2000 Tib. Any Suggestions?

 

You can go yellow, or just do the parts i have silver in red and leave the rest in black that should look real sweet and then if you have stick go with a red shifter and boot, then work on the seats and pedals in red.

 

this is what my friend did to paint his interior/engine.

"All I did for the interior was sand everything down with a 400 grit sandpaper. I then used Krylon white primer (about 4 coats). Then I used Krylon high gloss white spray paint (4 coats). I got all of this at Wal-Mart. It is really easy.

As for the engine parts, I first sanded, then primered, but then used a high temperture resistant white spray paint(at Pep Boys). After about 4 layers of that I put 2 layers of primer on top of it and then 4 coats of the Krylon white. The hoses were wrapped in white split loom tubing."

 

Nice interior, so what kind of tools did it take to do the doors?

 

If anyone wants to see a really sweet interior in a Tibby, check this out:

Long's Car

He's one of the members at FxTreme. The white looks really good on his car. If anyone has any questions, send him a shout. L8TR....

 

All it takes is a screw driver to take the door apart it all came off in pieces, then just primer sand paper and enamel spray. The rest is up to you in what you want to spray and what you don't. Everyone likes something a little different, just do whatever you think you would like.
