About to start interior work (Need advice)
So I've sat in a BRZ with carbon fiber interior and it was beautiful. $800 - $900 for all the pieces though is a little expensive.
Started thinking about other ways to make it look awesome. I thought why not paint all the silver pieces white. Like the car! http://i57.tinypic.com/5fgis1.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/2hx29nt.jpg How exactly should I go about this? I know they make some good spray paint but there's something about it that just seems wrong. That's why I thought I would ask you guys. I want it to be very glossy and something that's not going to start peeling or bubbling when it gets hot..obviously So I guess here are my questions:
PS: This is my first post on the forums, glad to be a part of it now. :thumbup: |

Is there a reason you want to paint over doing vinyl?
That being said, you can get black pieces, though I don't think white is an option. (http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...43#post1890543) |

It is totally DIY-able if you have the patience. All you need is some wrap, a blow dryer (heat gun is preferred) and some sharp knives.
I bought about $20 worth of 3M matte white vinyl wrap. Here is my interior so far: http://i.imgur.com/4aqsdCt.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qjx7g7K.jpg http://i.imgur.com/5IxeW8Y.jpg http://i.imgur.com/TUuLAWj.jpg Didn't bother to take high quality pics since its not completely done yet. |
Agreed with the vinyl, I had my silver pieces wrapped in carbon fiber vinyl and it looks sick. I'm not paying that much money for a few carbon fiber pieces

Have you considered hydrodipping?

Maybe try wrapping it again with fresh material but let the vinyl'd pieces sit in your house for a day before you put it back in your car out in the sun. Thats the only thing I can think of. |
Oh man, all that white in the interior is like stepping into a time warp to the 90's.
