cool, how is the texture and feel of the painted surfaces? I'd hate for it to feel sticky.

10-09-2008, 07:12 PM

once dried the plastic feels just fine not sticky at all

the carpet is a bit tough (for obvious reasons)

Phoenix7 · 10-09-2008, 07:17 PM

yeah, that's a PITA. Looks good keep it up.

10-09-2008, 07:23 PM

no I mean the carpet is tough to the feel kinda like a dry scrubber on a sponge

Phoenix7 · 10-09-2008, 07:28 PM

oh, well that'll go away once you use the carpet more often or you can wait till it dries and run a wide comb through it or something?

10-09-2008, 07:28 PM

yeah not only that but its not like anyone is laying on my carpet or getting in my car barefooted.

Phoenix7 · 10-09-2008, 07:35 PM

true.

SouthSideSlider · 10-10-2008, 08:15 PM

did you clean all the protectants off the dash before painting and what did you use to paint this? duplicolor vinil,and fabric paint?

10-10-2008, 08:39 PM

Yes I wiped down all the plastic before I painted with water and then dried it..

I am using the Duplicolor Vinyl and fabric paint

Ok not much to update at the moment.. I have all of the main carpet painted, the dash is back together, the arm rest console was painted and back on, the rear carpet is in the process of being painted (both stores ran out of paint), all of the plastic trip that I have is painted (I will need a couple pieces).

I plan ot pickup some more paint tonight, get the headliner done, the rear carpet done, and hopefully I will get the battery cable I need tonight so I can run that under the carpet before I install everything (battery relocation)

I also got out the sander and touched the drivers rear fender well up.. I havd a 1" bubble spot that I hit with the sander and it cam nice and clean so I got that covered for now untill I get down to doing the actual body work

More pics as things come together..

So I guess you got rid of that infamous scent of fuel our cars are known for LOL. Do you think that smell of spray is gonna stick? Other than that good job on your interior painting! I've seen horrible jobs before but your looks like its come together nicely.

10-13-2008, 11:22 AM

I would perfer the gas smell lol.. This does not smell to bad, however once I am done with the complete interior paint job I will get a tub of baking soda and put it in the car with it all sealed up and hopefully that will take care of that..

I still need a few plastic pieces in order to get it all finished but I would like to have all the interior I have instaled by the weekend

10-15-2008, 07:21 AM

OK well not much to update with... I sold my seats out fo my RX7 yesterday and in turn turned around and bought my competition diff mount (front) and the adjustable camber bar..

I should have those by Friday so I can install the rear end over the weekend..

BOUT TIME..

then I can finish up the interior and move on the the engine bay and body.
