Painting Interior

[bran52191]

Well i finally got my guts up and started the process of painting my interior. Im painting almost all the plastic black. The only thing not black will be the wood grain pieces, the vinyl inserts, the wood around the window switches, and a few small pieces in the car, and they will all be painted white. I just got done with a test piece and it looks realllly good. I will post some pics later tonight. Can't wait to be done, and any suggestions/comments would be great. Thanks

A few before and after pics

Ok got some pictures, they aren't great but you get an idea. The first ones are of a stock colored threshold. The last 3 are of the newly painted black one. I'm real excited about how it turned out.

It does look pretty good. Did you sand them first or prime them? Just wondering.

 

[bran52191]

well those i didnt sand because they were just a practice piece. I used an adhesion promoting primer, then color coat, followed by a clear coat. However, when i get to my real pieces i will do a lot more sanding.
