Getting Interior Trim Painted

That is a great, but I wonder how much you get out of the aerosol can to make it worth $25?

That's why I buy the Dupli-color automotive spray paint. It only cost like $3-$5 a can. I use Metallic Med Gray FM225? I think and painted my bumperret covers. No one can tell the difference. Color looks identical and is cheaper by the can. I'm not sure if that is the right number, but I can check when I get home.

I don't think they make Dupli-Color in Ocean Blue Metalic though.
If they do, I'll do my bumperettes, vents, etc. that way.

Sorry, I thought someone here was asking for Seal Gray? They might make a color close to your car color. You just have to experiment. Other wise just use one of the web sites mentioned.

Yep that was me. I just ordered everything I needed from expresspaint.com. I got three cans of Seal Grey, (1)Primer, (1)Clear Coat, (1)Wax & Grease Remover, Sand Paper and Tack Cloth for about $130. Which may be more than Dupli Color but hey it's a lot less than buying the prepainted pieces, cheaper than having them painted by an auto body shop, and if all turns out well, the satisfaction of saying "I did it myself". I'll start with the pocket lids and if all goes well I'll move onto the console pieces.

I'll go home tonight and take a "before" shot and in a couple of weeks I'll post the results.

Thanks for all the advise everyone! I'm stoked.

Just wondering how your project turned out? Any pictures ?
