good job on the tails, and I like the look of your interior with the blue paint.

cavaliers60 01-21-2006 10:34 PM

nice alero man... I have a midnight blue Alero also... Thanks for the awesome ideas... one question... What kind of paint did you use for the interior?

They look nice. I like everything except the plaid jammy-pants. :P

Menace 01-21-2006 10:56 PM

krylon fusion

cavaliers60 01-22-2006 04:51 PM

would that work also on the panel with the airbag on it. as well as the door panels? I"m hoping to maybe get the entire interior redone with a different color...

AlbinoMonkeyRat 01-22-2006 07:03 PM

use SEM dye for the rubber and vinyl stuff, and pretty much any spray paint you want for the plastic parts. Krylon Fusion only comes in so many colors, but duplicolor makes color-matched stuff. Just some stuff to think about.

looks good nice job

cavaliers60 01-23-2006 01:10 PM

I think I'll stick with just painting the plastic pieces for now. :lol: but thanks for the tip... Where can I find that stuff? I already found the spray paint..

Menace 01-24-2006 09:52 AM

Buy sem dye online. Ive never used it before but I hear good things.

doubleN0alero 01-24-2006 11:16 AM

looks good...nice work man

aleroboy99 01-24-2006 04:24 PM

what kind of pait did you do the tail with? i'v been thinking about doing my tails but i dont even know where to begin. i painted the inside of my headlight about 6 months ago but that is about it for the paint.

riccosalero 01-25-2006 10:34 AM

Tails are nice ................... how did u do them?

AlbinoMonkeyRat 01-25-2006 11:33 AM

spray tint = VHT Nite Shades

look for it on froogle.com for the best price. :thumb:

looks nice, if you wanna smooth it out, try using some 2000+ grit sandpaper and some water, it will give a smooth shiney look like factory.

AlbinoMonkeyRat 01-27-2006 07:29 PM

^ oh definitely. VHT orange peels like a mofo.

Menace 01-31-2006 11:09 PM

2000 grit? Never heard of it. I need to smooth out a little mistake but what I did is put on vht nightshade till I thought it was dark enough in nice light layers same direction, then I put on reflective coating then clear coat.

how can you never heard of 2000 grit?

maybe go with a 3000 grit?

sandpaper goes by a grit number, examples - 20 grit, 60, 120, 400 etc etc, the higher the number the finer it is.

AlbinoMonkeyRat 02-01-2006 06:57 AM

you can't get 2000 grit at Wal-Mart. you'd have to go to Home Depot or an automotive store to get it.

but for the tails, anything higher than 1500-grit is fine enough.

And you don't need a reflective coating. just don't get too thick with the tint. (2-4 coats should be fine with the wet-sanding in between coats. There's no need for a clearcoat either)

Menace 02-01-2006 08:04 AM

Oh I sell sandpaper but ive never had it go over 1000 there.
