Has anyone tried to paint some interior plastic parts?
 

Just wondering what type of paint did you guys use, or if someone has done it before?

Thanks,

GTD

I remember one post where someone painted their gauge bezel rims orange. I can't for the life of me remember who it was. I would try checking with Gary (orange10s.c. here on camaro5) and see if he has done it. He's done almost everything else with his car.

I think there is a post somewhere about painting the interior parts.

Sure have !!!! Any questions / help give me a call. :thumbsup:

Seeing that interior again makes me smile Gary. You were my first instinct. I may actually call you for some questions later on when I wake up. Going to bed here at 5am on the west coast.

i have also but i dont have my camera with me right now, i can post pics tomorrow, i painted the center piece and gauge cluster satin black.

what type of pedals are those

Dammit Gary why does your car have to be so full of win!?

Looks great Gary, did you use Factory Inferno Orange ( the exterior color ) or did you match interior color to the Dash and door panels?

Thanks

Here is a couple before they are put back in.

i have done it and here are some pics. its easy to do.

wow that blue looks phenomenal. wish you could have done the button and the cap also.

SStony that looks great man.

ooo....I really like it, think of doing the steering wheel plastic?

I want to do the steering wheel ring so bad but the air bag scares the life out of me.

just unhook the battery and you should be fine

Yup, steering wheel trim isn't that tough. Did mine today:

(Already did the speedo/tach bezel)

It is no big deal...Go for it. You have time before the show

so going back to the OP's question...did you guys use some color matched spray paint or what?

how do you pop the black part off the wheel to get to the ring?

Not sure which black part you are referring to: Look at post #86, then you can ask specific questions and I will address: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...73#post1638873

This is the thread I used to remove the steering wheel: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...steering+wheel

The pieces are actually the color of my graphics.

Yes, House of Kolors Sunrise Gold to match exterior.
