Painting the Interior |
| Article: |
Here's a run-down of how you can paint your interior and add pizazz to your Storm.
Decide on what pieces you want to paint. Then just remove them from the car. You'll want to clean them of any armor-all etc. with rubbing alcohol. Scrub it down good with that stuff. Next, just give it two light coats of white primer in order to make the color transition better. Going from Charcoal to Yellow isn't very flashy unless you base it with white to make the yellow (or your chosen color) brighter. Next, put several THIN coats of the desired color of paint on the part. Be sure not to saturate the part with the paint. You'll have to sand it off and start it over. Do it right the first time. Just barely coat it several times. After it's dried and cured like the can suggests, put a layer of clear coat on it to protect it and make it more glossy. Let it sit over night so everything dries well and doesn't chip off. Then put them back on.
You don't have to buy expensive interior colorizers. You can use Krylon paint from Wal-mart. That's what I used. :) |
