Wow all of these pics look very good. I have been wanting to do a different color in my interior. I was thinking donor truck but now I guess that Ill just do paint. Is there any primer needed when doing it?

Is there a way to paint every single piece of the interior?

Yep what was bolted into place can be un bolted and removed. Its about 6 hours worth of work and hard to reach stuff at some points. Then about 14 hours of prep and paint. 24 hours of dry time to play it safe and about 5 hours to put it back together if you remember where everything went.

Clean the crap out of it(so theres no oils and armorall on it) then sand it smooth if you want it shiny with no texture, and put 3 coats of adhesion promoter on it and it holds up great. I did the door panels on my friends Chevy like that and they turned out great and have lasted forever.

But also I used the duplicolor color match paint to match the body so it needed help bonding to the plastic. With the fusion paint all you need to do is clean and sand if you want smooth.

How is this holding up? This is the look I want. Looks like a big job removing all that dash area though.

It's holding up pretty well. In gonna take it back apart and redo it with some clear over top though, I didn't do my greatest job painting the first time.
