That looks awsome, but I have never been good with model car paint and brushes, I can't tell you how many gundam models I went through before I figured out a better allternative.

now those int. look good.. but how long will they stay that way? how long till the Duplicolor starts to flake off? and look like crap?

I've never had, or seen anyone with flaking or fading problems with the duplicolor. That is if you do it right.

From what i know it never does. I have talked about this with a couple of my buddys who are into cars, turnss out a lot of these custom interiors with all the funky colors are done with duplicolor. a lot of professional cusom shops use this stuff.

My calipers have gotten a few chips on them, then again, i only did 2 coats on them and they are more prone to highspeed debris.

This stuff is really made for this, i havent heared anybody having any problems with it. If i do, ill be sure to let everyone know though.

Now I've got to strip the paint or sand it off, then retape the bezel, and then repaint it.

Dammit....

HAHAHA...The same thing happened to me. WTF? I painted the door handles, the gauge insert, and the trim piece around the radio"all turned out great". Then I did the boot, and the same thing happened to me, it crackled..I was so pissed.
I ended up sanding it down, primering it, then painting it silver...

im slowly getting everything together that i need to redo my interior. new carpet, new steering wheel, guages on a pillar guage pod and hopefully new seats by spring.. as soon as i get back home (out of state for the week) im going to start painting and dying the interior panels. i think im going to just dye the seats until i get some new seats.

Do you guys think I should leave the interior as is, or go ahead and do it like the second pic. When I did my vert I had everything but the gauge cluster painted.

Looks great man.....now time to get rid of that semi shifter....and get a shortie. You'll love yourself for it :)
