Well Sorry I havent been on alot these days gang but I have been busy with this and that. Lets see gang...I had the interior all set. Then i decided to take out the carpet inserts in my doors and replace...well...i goofed up lets just sqy and now I am going to be repainting the doors alittle again...stupid me lets just say that.

I did the carpet....i actually painted that...unkle said it held up good in his car so i decided to try it. Now i have a black carpet. loks sweet. I have all the plastic molding around the doors and stuffs. Thats all going to get painted. I painted it before ut it just didnt look right so I am repainting them outside the car.

Well thats about it really. New pictures will be coming soon.

Its not hard at all...it sparypaint with one of thsoe vertical spray nossles so it sprays more even without alot of work. It took4 cans to do the whole carpet. Was so easy. It was gray before now its black. i have had peope say you cant. IT looks really great. Saved me $200 for a new rug.

Is the carpet still soft and fuzzy...or does it kind of stay in place now? That's the only downfall I see of painting carpet....

Its alittle stiffer (heheh...i said stiff). But its not bad. Not much of a change. IT goes on so thin. You can use on vyle, clot seats and bunch of other stuff also.

hmmm... interesting. What was the name and brand of the paint? I would be interested to see what kind of colors are available. I may use some to restore the carpet in my 86 buick.

I tookd a ouple picture today but they didnt come out rght. I amgonn take some 2morrow again and show the carpet. I havet oput the side molding back in cause i am working on my one door panel.

I have sprayed the whole panel with sandable primer and snaded it smooth now i am putting the silver on nad the the blak accents and then material and out it up then take the next down and so it again.

i bought the paint at walmart and ot one can at advance auto cause it was closer than walmart is and i needed it quick...was only 1 dollar more.

It's Dupli-Color Brand
called Vinyl and Fabric Color. It got flat black. they had 2 others at walmost...a brown and a glossy black. I love it. I wanna go hump my car....

its coming so well...

You know on thing...i relaly am learning things as I go alone about the car. But i feel really goo about it.

The otehr day my mom and i were in the garage and I looked at my car throgh the open door and i waslike thats my baby. iTs my car. May not be what peple think I should be driving but i love it.
