Styling my interior

[jay_mz89]

need to get new handbrake an gear lever gaitors though as the one off the stanard punto doesnt fit right. aslo need a leather blue and black and brushed alu style handbrake handle, or leathered blue/black matching handbrake handle and gear knob. cant seem to find any matching sets anywhere though. oh well. pretty much all thats left to do on the interior now is the gaitors, handbrake hanfle and gear knob matching, dye the parcel shelf black, get some boot lights or possibly more blue neons, get some neons in the rear passenger footwells. get a black rear seat with headrests, like a off a gt or a sporting then get gt or sporting door cards and electric front windows and doormounted speakers and colour code the door cards and ill be done!

sound system just needs the front speakers and a sub. then I can start on the exterior.

gonna de lock it sometime and get remote central locking and an immobiliser smooth boot, some new bumpers and sideskirt and i want a vent somewhere in the bonnet or the GSR induction kit im gonna get an i wanna replace the front grill with a wire mesh. that all that will be left is to lower it and get it on some sweet rims!

ye init wtf is flocked lol

this is what flocking is

 

[jay_mz89]

that isnt that awful velvetine feel crap stuff that comes off in your han if it get too hot or wet is it?? looks awful!! would prefer a smooth shiny dash to that and yes my gear knob is the wrong way round, lol it kept coming undone and twisting the other way, rounded two of the allen key screys trying to make it stay put. Ill fit the new one the right way round when i get one with a matching hand brake handle.

that flkocking wont come off. its done with an epoxy resin and static electricity. feel free if you want a smooth shiney dash all im saying is good luck when the suns out. your going to need it !

 

[jay_mz89]

guessing you can do that yourself then.... anyway my dash is not shiny it still has the gnarled effect as i didnt sand it smooth.

 

[Sei_rory]

i prep and paint all the parts. i also smooth the dashes so there as smooth as glass without any prep marks or texture ! i dont have the technology to do the flocking because its done with 60,000 volts of static electricity.

i can actually wash my dash with soapy water and dry it and also hoover it and it doesnt loose any fibers.

 

[jay_mz89]

oh right thats pretty cool i guess. i still dont like the look of the finish though..... what do you use to get them smooth as glass?? do you sand it or polish it somehow too?

 

[Sei_rory]

huge elephant bucket filled with warm water. dip the dash and sand for hours and hours on end. go through the gradesuntil theres no prep marks what so ever and the dash is like glass when its been waxed.

well thats your opinion...

but i hated the same old boring grey so i decided to colour code it.. (many people do it to there interior).

and it is not a bad as some of the others i have seen on the net.....and if you dont like it then dont post on this tread then......

listen mate its good to be different, it annoys me when i see people taking cheap shots at others enthusiasm, keep the good work up mate and a bit of advise make sure the areas your gonna spray are well primered.
