I want to go darker then the light gray but not Black black.. a graphite would be nice I think....

I did a satin finish black on the headliner and door panels. ya a graphite would look great!

Once the weather gets a bit nicer...I will begin my Painting......I am really looking forward to a new look inside...

I have done this to my interior as well, works great. I found a light sanding of the area you are painting helped it to stick better.

okay I got some paint... now if the weather would help out... want to rip the entire interior out on a weekend project...not with all this rain!

okay I started today,



first I tested on an one of my old visors, new Graphite colour on the right...

Then I did the Tan Updated door handles..here is a before and after photo, so far just did the handle, will be doing panels also, remember I was just testing today.. and I was using the Dupli-color Fabric and vinyl paint charcoal(Graphite) color



I love the color and it dries VERY fast!!!!

I also started to "test" paint the plastic panels also, I cleaned a lot first, then wiped it done with dupli-color anti grease and wax (hahaha anti-WAX) and then I primed the plastic with two coats and then sprayed it with enamel engine paint (i chose this because I think it will stand up a bit better and clean up better being closer to boots, and mud, etc...not sure if this is what I will do when I do it all, I just tested this piece next to the drivers seat, no one can see it...



I do like the black, I will end up with black on plastic and Charcoal (graphite) on then dash, doghouse, aux heating box, and all the trim, but I will leave the head liner gray..lots of work to still do.

Canadian Tire better stock up on Paint.. btw it is $9.99 a can, thinking I might need a case or two.. maybe

Okay painted some more...This time I did the HVAC cover..and here is a before (with the cleaner I used) and after, also I have included a close up of it after painted (a bit of a ding in one spot), I am amazed on how STRONG this paint is, how fast it dries and how great it looks... I will continue to rip pieces out and paint..



Having some issues getting the seats out of the truck..trying to get to the bolts on the tunnel side..and these are also pretty rusted in there, any tips?
