Hey all. I just bought the G2 interior carstyling paint and applied it on the steering wheel, the shift ****, and E-brake and it came out real nice as if I bought the car with the 2 tone interior. After it settles in, you can scratch it off all you want and it still won't come off, just like the product said.. Now, I want to do the same to the door panels and maybe even my cloth seats.. Has anyone done that yet or do you know if it's a good idea? The paint i bought was meant for vinyl and hard plastic but along w/ the primer, it pretty much binds to anything. Please give me insight. THanks

 

Have any pics? I would love to see what this looks like.

 

The fabric? Unless that product is a dye that the fabric can absorb, paint would not work well. The synthetic fabrics used in autos typically do not absorb very well.

Try to find a really obscure location to test. It could also make the fabric really hard if it doesn't react properly on fabric.

 

Do a search on member "Whealy" or send him a PM - he's done a lot of interior coloring.

 

man what ever happened to whealy?

 

I think he had to get a bigger car--a Phaeton I believe.

 

so sad he has to drive that huge piece-o-crap around when he had one of the most beautiful 8's on the forum

EVERYTHING was blue :p

he said his wife made him do it, poor guy...I'd be divorced if I were him :p

 

here's the pics as requested:

 

It looks good-do you have any close ups? It looks much much better than I would have imagined. Good job.

 

Now let's no go dissing my wife! For someone that's been though as many cars as I have and still be married to wonderful woman that really doesn't share my heightened interest in them, she sure puts up a lot.

Just to be straight on the issue, the 8 was not one of her favorite cars. But ultimatly, I keep one vehicle to myself. So the decision was mine.

While I do apprecaite the props on my previous 8, I did have something else in mind to drive this summer. Pics below. Sorry for hijacking VmanX. But a man has to defend his wife. And obviously I do check in from time to time.

BTW - I have been sharing the knowledge I gained with VmanX on this dye stuff. But he started doing this before we ever spoke. So looks like he has a good handle on what he's doing.

 

So you got the Phaeton and NSX?

 

sorry whealy I was just kidding about the wife thing :o...I just miss your 8, it was one of my favorites

 

For the time being, yes.


No offense taken ...

Again, sorry for hijacking the thread VmanX.

 

I'll take more pics after i do the door inserts


Don't worry truemagellen.. I'll take his place



Haha.. It's all good. You imparted enough wisdom for me to be your successor :p
