- Sun Feb 10, 2013 12:21 am #326057 Just gutted the interior to spray EVERYTHING that's red, black, to get it ready for paint. Still got the door panels and dashboard to do.
Going to Plastidip just the exterior. My GF and I just did her BMW E34 and it came out quite nice, especially considering the paint only set us back $110. The entire kit was about $320 which included the spray fun, hoses, attachments, several accessories, and 3 gallons of matte black. The whole car only took 2 gallons :thumb: Those pics are listed below as well.

Thanks to gutting the car, several rust spots were revealed including an infants sized fist HOLE in the drivers side floorboard, just under the center console. Time for some rust repair and fabrication!!! :thumb:

Thought I'd add some pics of the Plastidip job we did in about 3 hours.... :thumb:

I love the blue on your hatch, but that's the beauty of plasti-dip, you can pull it off when you want your paint back. :thumb:

The one on the civic is an OBX twin loop muffler and on the BMW is a DC tip straight piped. You can imagine how loud the 4.4L gets lol.

- Sat Feb 16, 2013 2:25 am #326556 Just got rid of all the rusty spots on the interior, luckily nothing was underneath the paint and didnt spread. Just some surface rust that the "Rust Fix" fixed. Next gotta sand it all down, prime it, and spray it black :hehe:

Waiting on a new wheel to come in too, since mine literally broke off lol.
