how on earth do you get paint to stick to the rubber arm on the door i mean it seems as if it would peal off of wear off from the everyday use ..

Thanks!! It was a combo of boredom and creativity.....and besides the fact that If I want to take any trophies home this year from carslile I better do something to the interior!

Go to Michaels.. (the craft store...) They have Krylon paint at a good price....Or if you go to www.JCWhitney .com you can get the interior styling spray which is about 14.99 a can. thats what I started out with. It works too. But I like the cheaper stuff.....

Thanks for posting those! You are giving me ideas....hmmmm....maybe a serious splash of red is what my ride needs. Calipers, interior, and Strut bar all red? Decisions, Decisions.

Looks great! Like MP5 said....get us some close ups!

ok here is one pic......got more coming tho...

Lemme guess whats next:
1. Driver's side vent to match the passenger side.
2.Radio trim
3.Steering wheel

And if you really dont like the yellow then I guess the seats will have to be reupholstered.

Its funny how you try and get rid of the silver. I have a LX model and want to paint all my bland parts silver to make it look as nice as the MP3. Go figure.:rolleyes:

www.corksport.com

It is part of a decal package....


As for the parts that I will paint next you are right...althought the driver's side vent will be tricky because it doesnt come off like the passenger side one...Go figure:wtf:

Dragonbabe,
How'd you remove all those parts to paint them??? Do they all come off fairly easily?

Me too, I love the silver interior in my MP3 and I will never paint it.
Isn't the silver nice??!

Those custom paint is for those civics or integra which have a boring interior.....

hey now!
The object was not to look like the wings west protege, I just have an aversion to silver. Thats all.

The silver was nice, but for me, since I show the car, I needed to do something to the interior that would win me a few!

and the silver was too common.
