I was thinking about those gauges, have any issues with them?

 

awesome work! it takes ***** to go flat black after all that filler. shows every little imperfection. good to see the block sander out. i also cant believe you did all this on that nice driveway! i would have been out in the street

 

looking to paint my double din a/c unit stereo piece and the circle below the shift **** and the cup holder piece too. and the center thing, basically that whole center piece, i believe is 3 large pieces and the 1 circle.
thanks
and the door handles you grab and locks if you did those also..

i cant deciede.. gloss or flat? which did you like better?

 

Personally, I think gloss looks KILLER. Heist's interior is siiiiiick. That being said though... Gloss is gonna print like CRAZY and any little scratch is going to show up BIG TIME. The finish I did is very durable and scratch resistant. My sister dropped my key-chain on it and it didn't even scratch, needless to say that surprised me.
I'm not trying to say paint it flat just because I did, you just have to think about it for yourself and decide if you can deal with the high maintenance and intense prep work for gloss black, or settle with a durable finish that's nice, but won't get you the mad props that gloss black will. It's all entirely up to you bro.

 

not really just the inverter is very loud and the cut out is kinda off. You get what you pay for I no longer use it.

Thanks ! Yeah it was not easy and I can still see little things and will probably end up repainting most of the car again. As far as the driveway I don't trust parking on my street between the kids and crappy drivers around haha.

nailed it. With the piano black also it is going to show every finger print and scratch. Plus the hours to even get to that point.

 

will the flat black not fade or wear off? i feel like if no clear coat on it that if i do my door handles it would wear off easily and fast..

 

I don't want to take Heist's thread OT. If it's about gloss black interior trim, ask him here. If it's about flat black interior trim, ask me in the door pulls DIY thread.

 

It all depends on the paint.

 

you can use flat clear...

 

yeah, or even some of the better paints have a flat clear combo with the paint.

 

really sick man

 

I havent been on the site for some time, but damnnn. One of my favorite G35s here. The interior is just sweet. Mad props on all the hard work you put into it. Definitely paid off.

How much was the suede setup?

 

sorry for neglecting this thread I will post some new pictures soon! Also the suede is the fake stuff it cost me like 60$? online and probably 30$ in spray adhesive.

 

I read your old thread...till page 45.....post 671....just to see the pics....and now i think i can honestly say.....AWESOME ****ING CAR! haha

 

now thats what i call sweat and blood
