    DIY Interior Painting

    Just wanted to know the correct steps to be taken when painting the interior of my 1996 Honda Civic, such as center consol etc. Also the right paint and so on.

    Cheers

    at work so havnt got the exact details just incase no hepls u otherwise .
    you'll neeed two types of sand paper ; wet and dry ; rough and fine
    spray paint
    primer
    gloss

    sand(wet and dry sand paper)
    then primer & then sand it till its smoothe like a babies bottom
    spray it(which ever spray paint / colour u wanted)

    and finally
    gloss(enamel)to make it nice and shiney

    thats how i did mine.
    im gonna redo it soon, but yeah, how much coats of primer & spray & gloss you do is up to you.

    some people get away with just sand and spray.
    the end product is how much you put in.
    ill re write tihs and get more specific "ingrediants" for you when im home
    whats an internet?

    what about if you spray it and it just keeps sucking the paint up??? and going to the original colour.

    If you do light coats it shouldn't crack, unless the dash itself cracks.
