Well, I wanted to take a stab at painting the interior. I did this a long time ago with my civic and it came out uneven and flaked a bit. That was before the Dupli-Color vinyl paint. I was a bit timid of it flaking off and I wanted a little bit more shine so I used my paint gun and laid automotive clear on it. About 5 coats of it. lol. Now, If I keep the clear, I will be doing this with the entire interior....Should I keep doing clear or stick to just the black? the pics were taken with my phone so...the glare is a little bit more intense in person.

You prob need to install it, cause we can't really tell with it sittin on that other car. Initially, most people of have used flat black, so it may be too shiny, but we need install pics to give good opinions :biggrin:

I like it but would have to see it in the truck to really see. Just to let you know, last time i was at the auto store picking up some of the dupli-color vinyl paint they had a couple cans of gloss too, not real sure how it would look tho.

Nice work dude :top:
