Has anyone pray painted their removale console pieces in thier hummer? And what spray did u use and how was it?

Im thinking of doing that myself , doing some custom air brushing on those 5 pieces ....Im buying a second set off ebay tho just in case i mess it up lol ...be a summer project I think

I just sprayed my center console since I scratched it putting in a stereo... the dash pieces I didn't spray but I gotta say the center section turned out really well and I still might do the dash yet. I picked out this cool textured paint from Crappy Tire and I was really impressed with the stuff, it turned out just like I expected and was really easy to spray. Basically it looks perfectly even and I sprayed it in no light, in a card board box in the basement... fool proof and I proved it lol



I did try a black spray but I wasn't happy with it since it did very little to cover up the scratches, and trying to do a proper clean on the panel before painting can be tricky because the factory finish comes off VERY easily and then you are definitely SOL for a nice smooth surface to paint. The textured paint was nice just because it does an amazing job of covering, I did like 3 coats and it came out great!



It's not artistic like a nice airbrush but just depends what you're after, I'll try to post up a picture today so you can see

thanks for the info!

Hey JL, Can we see some pics, and can you post the actual brand name of the textured paint you used?

there is also another thread on this one as well, check it out...



painting interior







I bought some Dupli-color Fabric and vinyl paint and as soon as the weather is nice, I am gonna start on my H1 interior..gonna go to a Graphite colour...

I will be updating the other thread as I go...I started to paint and test this afternoon...

Hey I mean to post pics but I totally forgot about it! The camera flash made the pictures turn out really weird... in natural light I think the finish actually turned out really nice, but yeah with the flash it makes it look funny... The white specs reeeaaally jump out in the photos but it I swear it looks nothing like that normally!!



You can also get a straight black finish like this one, same texture just without the white specks. It's a Krylon paint called Make it Stone, nothing fancy or special just found it at Crappy Tire and thought it would be worth a shot! This is the stuff!
