Painted Girl

[jscott]

I wanted to have a Dodge with the taupe interior and not the black one. But when I layed eye on my new beauty, she had everythig I had on my wishlist plus some nice trim outside. So I got her with a black inside.

The other day in my favorite $-store (King Dollar) I found some vinyl spray paint what promised to bond to the orginal door panels.

They had a dark and a light blue. The dark seemed to bee in the range of my blue exteriour. I missed the fabric inlays I had in my old 97 V10 Ram. Everything in one color, the new door panels look cheap.

After cleaning with rubbing alcohol I started the first test spays on the back of the panesl and liked the color. I figured I wanted a two color look, so I removed the things which were to remove and taped the parts I wanted to stay in black because of the more mechanical wear or just for looks.



Here are the results from the doors, tomorrow I have to buy more paint and have to figure out how to remove the dashboard. (any ideas?)

... well I have the custom look I wanted and Eva loves ist.

And that's all that counts.

If Eva loves it, that's the best you could have hoped for!

It actually looks pretty good! I'd be curious as to how it holds up in the long run with feet scuffing the door bottom and rings and nails, etc. scratching when you grab for the handle.



I think it would look even better with the speaker grills black... ... IMO

 

[jscott]

Thought about the speaker grille, but I look for a good sticking and lasting shiny chrome spray to do the job. As for the long run, after some weeks I will do some durabilly tests on the unterside of the panels and post the results.
