GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I was looking to paint all the stuff in my car. The silver stuff that is, I am also goin to paint something else that I saw in a matrix that looks really cool. What does everyone think that I sould use? I know the basic primer and paint, but is there something else I should use?

I have nto painted the inside of a Vibe- But I have on other cars- It can get trciky, But I am pretty sure that Psychobroker just painted the inside of his car- check out his car domain page then you could ask him

you will need some kind of plastic sealer too... i painted the interior panels when i first got my vibe and then i had it redone professionally at a body shop. if you look on my car domain page, you can see the diff between the two. also, do a search on interior paint and you'll prob find there are a lot of post about this.

My gf's dad is a painter for the dealership i got my Vibe at so i'm gonna get a few things done for next to nothing or free. But shhh they are things i have yet to see on the web site should have them done w/i next few weeks.

Thanks for all the info everyone. Man that looks real good trdvibe. How long did it take to do all that?

Thats the ONE thing I am lusting to get done to my Vibe..... trdvibe's vibe is AWSOME!!!!

awww... now thanks, guys! i'm blushing.... lol. well, i will bring one of the panels w/ me to the meet so if anyone wants, they can check out the paint job in person. but i highly recommend having it done professionally... nothing like that beautiful shine of a hard clear coat!

I did my center console. took all day but with painting patience is key. It came out great.

oh ya, any pics of that?

Thanks ill put the pictures up when im done, but have to wait for good weather.

You can view my painted interior pics at my cardomain.com page...going on 6 months nd they're still in perfect condition. I plan on changing the color, but am cringing at the thought.Here's a direct link to the page with interior pics.-Christian

I like your panels, TRD! Did you remove them and drop them off at the shop, or did they remove and paint the panels themselves? Also, how much should I expect to pay to have them professionally painted?Thanks

i took them off first. i had to cut the ring around the shifter. didn't know the whole thing came off w/ a screw... lol but the guy did it for me for $40 just paint and materials. he liked me... what can i say but prob cost like $150 because it's very time consuming... prepping, sanding, etc. took aobut a week to get them all nice a pretty.
