pictures arent the best.. i'll try to take some better ones..
its amazing.. the carpet still feels soft, and the foam is a little dull looking.. so it breaks the color up..
it came out a lot better than i thought it would

vinyl and fabric.. we used a LOT of paint thinner on the door panels... they looked all oxidized.. then let them dry.. the paint took really well.. it feels like vinyl still.. looks like factory door panels

Nice, is it really that high gloss or is that just from the flash of the camera and the paint still wet or something?

Looks pretty good, and yea painting something from red to black will require quite a few coats of paint.

the paint is just something from oreilly's.. the can is black with green letters on it..
when i get home.. im going to roll it out of the garage.. so i can get some better pictures in the light,
plus i need to power wash my engine bay, to get it ready for paint..
also.. removing the wiring harness.. is a real bitch.. so is getting the computer out from the kick panel

Powerwashing = fun as hell
removing computer = just a little man power will get it out
removing wiring harness = dont remember it ever being that hard?
