Talking Finished My Painting Project

The car looks brand new again. No more Swiss Cheese looking front bumper anymore. With all of the painted parts inside it feels like a different car! Took me about two hours to put it all back together .....What do you think?

LOL,.. No, I didn't paint em myself. I brought all the parts to my local body shop to be painted. You save a ton on the labor that way.

Hey Jeru, would it be possible for you to take some pictures of your interior in natural daylight? I like the look, but the pictures look a little dark in your garage. I was thinking about getting some stuff painited Seal Gray also.

Those interior peices arent Arctic , they were painted Seal to match the car, they look great.

Looks great. I want to paint my interior trim as well. How much was it to paint?

Great choice!

Thanks,

To paint all those parts $1000 cash. Alot of sanding and preping involved. Take off about $350 for the front bumper if you don't need it re-painted.

Did you consider painting the instrument cluster surround?
