Hey, i searched all over the place and i only found places that will make an overlay of your current wood pieces. I don't really want all those extra pieces that they ALWAYS come with, so i was thinking maybe of making my own brushed aluminum pieces. I have yet to see a compnay actually make a piece.

Guy's thought? anyone else try this? am i crazy? did i not search hard enough?

Thanks

Vincent

 

I think it looks out of place on the SC.

 

The only interior I can see a brushed aluminium finish across the doors and dash is in a car with a black interior, but that's just me.

I haven't seen anyone do it before though.

 

i have dye the int black with the wood trim sprayed silver..kinda like my g35 looks good i think.

 

PICS please!!

 

here are some pics i still need to go over the door panels with the semi's paint cause the paint or i went over with was to gloss it think i used the du pont leather and vynil paint. but i used s***s on the op door trim adn dash and it looks great no gloss but more of a oem look.

yea i know i need black steering wheel....getting seats redone soon to....

but the black and silver makes it feel alot more sporty i think.

 

Looks good! I'm surprised! Your car with black inserts on the seats would polish off a CLEAN look for that interior

 

I like it, different and modern looking.. How did you get your interior black like that? Dye? DId you air brush the molding with alluminum paint, clear coat finish?

 

yeah i defiantely wouldn't do it on tan interior. I myself have black interior. I was thinking of doing JUST the wood grain that's in the car to brushed aluminum, the paint jsut doesn't do it for me.

i guess i'll jsut have to take my wood pieces out, how hard is that guys?

 

if you are not careful you will break pieces of the vents and the wood or chip it of.

 

wasnt to hard i masked the car off to do the dash i ddint want to take the whole dash out. I clean the surface first with just a damp towel and let it dry off a bit b4 spraying it with the s***s spray paint its a bit expensive per can but it really looks awsome on the dash and upper door moldings. the du ponte color for vinyl and leather is to shiny for me as u can see on the door panels.

I took the door panels and upper moldings out and the rear side panels out to spray them.


as for the wood trim i took them out and sanded the gloss off and primed the wood trim then spray it looks great no chips. I used a duplicolor spray can for the trim i did many layers off prime then sand and then 2 to 3 coats of the silver color didnt clear it do i dont want it super glossy.

The car has been like that since feb and no chips soo far.

There was a thread a while back about the s***s spray paint its great quality just a lil expensive i think it was like 7 or 8$ a can but well worth it. need to get some more and redo teh door panel.

 

VinnyQH the wood trim for the door panel is very easy but the dash is the harder part im sure someone here can tell you.

 

ted17, how hard was it to get into those difficult angles closely along the windshield?
