Cool So a quick color change for the SC300 Budget Supercar

So in my attempt to make an SC300 Superleggera on a budget, I did some painting and changed the beige in my interior to a dark red.

I think it give the interior of the car a more distinguished and sporty look.

Alcohol wipe, then Duplicolor adhesion promoter, then 3 coats of Duplicolor Vinyl and Fabric spray. The steering wheel pieces had 3 coats of clear on top, so it gives a gloss and has some durability, as I'll be touching it all the time.

Yea, I wrapped the trim and the console separately, and didn't notice the weave was reversed. It doesn't bother me that much so I'll just live with it.

Actually the keyhole was deleted - since I never got the key with the car.

Yes, I did take it off, I wanted it to look as OEM as possible.
