haha...would love to tbh but dont have the time! i think everyone should do thier interiors! makes the car so much more fun/nice to be in! i swear after being in it for half hour or more i basically forget it a corsa! not that i dont like corsas or anything!

u would need some dollars to achieve that!! most of the experience of being in 911 is 15cm ass from floor, engine sounds and of course REAL leather!

i used midnight black stuff. it dried completely in bout 2hrs then i put it back in the car! but it was an exceptionally hot/sunny day in wales with a nice cool breeze i.e. perfect paintin conditions! it stays completly soft to the touch aswell.
and no...green suks but it was the only colour available in the paint shop of course i do!

quality might have 2 giv it a go how meny cans do i need ??

+ way 2 spot the ovb

[jar_jar89]

er...bout 4-5 large cans of primer, 4 large cans of gloss/satin black, 3 large cans clear laquere, and then say 5-7cans of the colour of ur choice. I used halfords paint designed for outside car body (ford modena signal green) and th ecans are only 330ml i think for like £6 each. the larger cans are £7-£8 each. u need loads and loads of prep though to get good finished on em. i used 400grit paper to key surfaces, 1200 wetndry for between layers then 1500wetndry on the 1st layer of laquere then just a fine spray of laqurer again that kinda self levels. the trick is timin between sprays. i would say for the whole interior ive sprayed i spent three days cleaning and sanding em and dustin them to get em ready and like one day paintin and 2 days drying to harden if it was to be done all in one go. but i done it inseveral stages over a period of days cos had to do other stuff aswell in life.
