Painting the Interior


I took today off of work originally to paint the entire car, but after some talking out of it by my dad we decided to paint at least the interior today. Saturday it is supposed to be a beautiful 78 degrees here in southern California which is when we're going to paint the outside of the car. Today was a good day to paint at least part of the car to alleviate some of the burden of painting the entire thing in one day. We shot it with a two stage paint (base/clear) by 4th Dimensions. The color laid down pretty nice right out of the gun.



We next mixed up the clear with some blue pearl in it to help lighten up the color and give it a little depth.


When the clear was first shot out of the gun, it wouldn't lay flat on the car. With some time it was laying down, but it was strange that it had such a textured look to it.



We also shot the underside of the trunk so that we didn't have to mess with it on Saturday when we shoot the rest of the car.
