I've been mulling doing some mods, again, since my neighbor buddy just showed me his new Carrera with lots of add-on goodies (Don't you hate that?), but since I'm somewhat cheap I thought I'd try a small DIY instead of plunking down the big bucks companies charge for something as small as a hangar hook.

I bought a small spray can of Testors 'Guards Red' paint ($5.49 at Hobby Lobby) as well as their 'Wet Look' clear coat. I applied 4 or 5 coats of each and I think they turned out pretty good. The hardest part was waiting for the paint to dry. Attached is a crummy iPhone photo.

 

Wow...you are certainly a wild and crazy guy !!

 

Nice touch.

 

Wow, the seatbelts came out great!

 

How about the seat back latches?

 

Now the question is, how will they wear overtime?

 

Especially if he actually uses them to hang his dry cleaning. Of course, every time I try to use those hooks, the clothes fall off after a little driving. Does anyone actually use them successfully?

Anyways, nice touch! Makes it appear as if the seats are custom at first glance.

 

The beauty of "Guards Red". Beside that it's a great color you can always find the color in many paint products.

 

This was a joke. I know he didn't paint the seatbelts.

 

That is a great idea!

Guys he can fix these if a coat hanger scratches them...he is the one that painted them..then he can fix them.

 

Nice touch. Now you need to paint the rear center console to follow through on the theme, then red dial faxes, then......................... LOL

 

Impressive

 

Have never used mine as they don't appear to be very effective. But, they look great in red so that's all that matters.

 

As soon as I opened the pic, my web security software flagged it as ****! Looks like a set of bright red nipples on tan skin.
