Well I got bored over the weekend and was tired at looking at my boring door panels. So I added some color. Looks like my Armor All job is a little streaked:wacko:



What are your thoughts on putting the mesh back over the speakers?



Took forever to prep for paint.



Now I need to paint the center console and radio bezel, and the silver part of the dash so it all matches.

Looks great! Really stands out. Another piece I would paint, that little bezel around the door handles...

 

[David Griffith 2]

That looks great!!

I agree w/ Jeff on the handle piece..

Good Job..

 

[Woppy V]

I like it!

 

[Rodger Tellefson]

Looks very nice.

 

[Todd Z]

Yes, looks good..... Did you clear coat them ???

Thanks everyone,





I did not use clear coat, I used the Dupli color gloss black vinyl/fabric paint for the handles. This sprays on very thick and had me worried about runs, I may have just got a bad can. But it dried good and they turned out great. When I painted the door panels I used a left over can of the Dupli Color bumper paint because the rest of the door panels are not glossy.



Now I just have to see how well the paint holds up on the door handles. And I am still undecided if I should put the fabric back in the speaker grills.

i did the same idea to my dash on my old toyota once...

I am curious i did that once and it crack and pealed after about 3 months... Then i found a vynle paint that worked the best... i have not seen this type of paint in a while has any one else seen it and know who makes it.. This was like a vynl dye type thing ??All i had to do was remove all oils and stuff like that then i applied and it lasted for years...

KEITH, they make vinyl dye paint that is available at most auto parts stores. The only thing is, it comes in dark dull colors, dark blue, grey, black, tan, etc, to match close to factory colors. It doesn't come in colors like you'd have on a vehicle.

 

[Brian Wolf]

Looks good...

Been thinking of doing that myself sometime.

Cloth over the speakers can protect them from dust and the occasional liquid spill.

Looks great. I painted my door handles several years ago with rustoleum hammered paint, and it still looks great. i painted my power window panels silver to match dash/console.
