LOL, I recently downloaded Adobe Photoshop to be able to render my projected "look", just haven't had time to study it... But if you can PM me please! '95 SC400, with AC body kit, stock spoiler, deleted small grille, billet lower grille, MRR GT1 20" rims, Midnight Indigo Pearl and good looking slam.

Sorry i haven't really made any progress lately, the weather has been too cold for the paint, but on a good note i did order a AEM EMS v2 and mt intake manifold was leaking so i am having it welded.

i ripped the whole switches apart and i taped off the icons and words on them, then made sure to spray light when painting directly on them iit took about 2-3 hours.

Lovin this thread, sicksc you're doing a great job with painting your car, keep up the good work and can't wait to see all this finished.

I have a '90 LS, and I want to dye the grey plastic to a nice black color. Would I be using the SEM or the Rust Oleum?

What kind of prep work needs to be done on it before applying the paint?

Edit: Never mind, I just re-read the first post again. Thanks in advance.

Hey i was wondering, would the interior smell like paint from this transformation or no? or is it too early to tell??

Also would u be willing to do this as a service since ur not too far away from me? I'd deliver all the parts off the car if u wanted or just deliver the car. LMK if u wanna do this for others once urs is done!
Keep up the good work.. looks great.

That shouldn't be a problem, just you know as well as i know the paint doesn't like how cold our states are at the moment so next year when it gets above 70 i can definetly do it. The only thing i would change is fabric. You can never seem to dye fabric and have it feel exactly the same. i don't mind it but if i was doing this for someone else i would feel better recovering the parts.
