Hey all, I've been on here a few times just never had any money or motivation to do any work on my car. Well, I think the time has finally come. I stopped going to school and I'm just working now... so I've got free time and money. My whip in now a WIP (work in progress). I'll get some pics up tomorrow of my 01' Alero Coupe (yes its white).

Quick question though, I am looking to paint my interior this weekend and I was just wondering if you guys could send some tips my way on how to do it. I know how to take all the parts off but do I need to sand them? I plan on priming them. And do I need a clearcoat as well?

Thanks for everything and all the welcomes (warm or cold)

you joined on november 2005 and this is your third post?! gah!

always great to see new people regardless- welcome!

and as far as interior paint.. I have no idea- I'm sure one of the interior paint gurus will chime in soon enough

The gurus will give you a virtual slap in the face if you paint your interior.

if done right.. painted interior pieces look bad ass..

well "done right" is my goal in this endeavor ;)

I would sand the parts down. I have heard that clear coat on interior plastic will start to chip and flake off. I painted my speedo cluster bezel and clear coated it about 10 months ago and haven't had any problems with flaking.

from what Ive seen, painting interior parts a dark color will look better than painting them a bright one like White or Teal.

Many ppl over here have painted their interior and have bought used interior part after to bring it back to stock. I would only get the Carbon fiber dash kit from ebay.
