Purple Interior all done!

[AlienInv8r]

I got it working in Mozilla, it's the address he gave that's slightly off. You have to switch all the slashes to forward slashes-
i.e - http://ileus1.tripod.com\camaro\interior\1.JPG
should be
http://ileus1.tripod.com/camaro/interior/1.JPG

just swap the slashes to forward ones and it should work aight.

The interior looks pretty cool, definitely different and not sure it's something I would do, but I do like it. Came out pretty cool looking. Nice use of creativity!

I uploaded them to my server for anyone that still can't see them. They're the exact same images but at my domain name, so everyone can see it.

Oh, ok, I finally got to see it! My car is black with a theme of purple also, but my interior is close to stock (other than gauges and a set of purple billet pedals) so seeing this done was interesting. I'll probably end up sticking with billet accents inside my car though. I know what Nikon is saying about the two colors being "dark" together.. I actually had my car "brightened up" a bit with silver, blue, and multi-colored metal-flake because you couldn't really see the purple ghost stripes on the hood or rear bumper. Basically, on a black car, billet will accent black and purple nicely. Good luck and thanks for posting the pics!!

BTW, how difficult is it to remove the door sills? Do they basically peel up? (I'm thinking I'll upgrade those next).

I think it looks great. I am considering ripping the tan interior out of my car but I could not solve 2 problems. #1 was replacing the fabrick in the door panels. you just solved that for me, thanks. #2 is figureing out how to change the plastic trim color. I am a cheep baskerd so I don't really want to buy some, and I am afraid that if I paint them the paint will come off reel easy if anything rubs aginst it hard. oh well may haft to

the door sills a a piece of cake to get of. theres 4 little tabs spread out underneath it. just get a screw driver and pull up gently and they pop right off.

as for andrew.brandon dont be afraid to paint plastic. you just have to take your time. sand it smooth, clean it with alchohol. then prime it(2-3 coats). then paint it (at least 2-3 coats). then clear it(at least 2-3 coasts).

you cant rush it though otherwise youll get runs. but you have to lay it on wet otherwise it wont be smooth. it you do it liek this and take you time it will be on there good. and wont just rub off.

Cool, thanks. Funny, I never really looked that closely at them. Easy enough.. :cool:

i like it and i think that it looks good. the only thing that i dont about like about it is that your interior looks grey and not black. when i get done with my interior its gonna be black and purple as well. if you plan on working on it some more make sure to post pics so i can see them.

Damn bro, that really looks like sh*t....PURPLE!!! what the hell are you thinking, different is good. Like different socks and undies everyday. BUT PURPLE! ugh. MAYBEE on a white car you couldda made it flow, but purple and black?! they're too dark and they clash. other than not liking the color you did a good job recovering everything. But "I" think you went a little overboard. to tacky for my tastes

he's right, sorry bro, thats pug fugly.

If you wanted a purple car, maybe you should have searched for a BPM, or DPM fbody.

Velvet w/ our cheap plastic=***.

Might look good to you, but no to me

[articacid]

ive got nothing but compliments in person. it would look like sh!t painted. so i figured the velvet would be the next best.

oh and i did search my @ss of looking for a purple one. i did not find one! let alone one with a 5-speed and t-tops.

oh and what part looks gray? only the carpet is gray.

[oh my Goth]

i guess you're right it does look black

[meissenation]

I repainted my entire interior black with red accents, if you do it like articacid says you'll have no problem. Clear coat is the main thing tho, I do like 6 to 8 coats minimum of clear coat.

oh and make sure you give it plenty of time to dry the last thing you want is doing all that work and think its dry and go to put it back together and smudge it and put finger prints in it.
