i already made a thread with some interior pieces, i went ahead and finished the vents ( i didnt do it before beacause i didnt really feel like taking apart the vents peices)

also did the trim pieces by the mirrors

had some time and did it ...really glad i did i think it finished off the look...sorry for the low quality pix, but you get the idea...




















this is before i finished the whole vents and trim near the side mirrors

 

thanx, ive had a lot of practice...now i think i can paint anything..its all about prep...

 

Have you painted the interior door handles? I find the original silver very cheap looking.

 

not yet..there on my list...problem is i havent tried removing them...looks like a PITA!! ...but if i get around to it, illbe sure to post pix of the process

 

A red carbon steering wheel could top it off!!

 

Nicely done! Pretty much similar to what I had done to mine (but mine is in silver). My painted vents should be in transit by now.

 

i want the F1 style paddle shift...with red sticthing , but there pricey

 

yah i orignally did mine in silver being that it was the easyiest color to do and find, and i couldnt find guards red spray paint....but found a website that had it and im glad i finished it , i orginally painted that red back in oct. but just finished the vents this week

 

That looks very similar to this one I'm considering.

yah i want it cuz i have a tip..and i like the idea of the paddle shift...as for a manual there are alot more options espec if ur in the 1300-1500 price range

 

I think you now have to ditch the red leather on the steering wheel since it seriously clashes. But the paint job is really nice!

 

Omar,

Was it very difficult to remove all of the slats from the actual vent?

 

I'm looking to do mine in Arctic Silver... my paint and body guy says he can do it, but I'd like to take a shot at it myself (I suppose if I really screw up he can fix it)... but, what did you do for prep once you removed them from the car?

Thanks!
Rudy

 

not at all it came off pretty easily once i got the hang of it ,,just make sure u leave them on the little connecting peice to keep them in order

just washed them sanded , primed , light sand ...paint light coats 3-5 then a few coats of clear....ppl rush when they paint,...just take ur time and it will look good

 

Nice work...looks great!
