Diy Interior

[93Skyline]

Here's a shot of my interior, I think it looks pretty trick but not too over the top, i did it myself in electric plum spray paint. I just added some neons under the glove box and guages to light up the floor. I couldn't find purple neons anywhere for sale so i bought some glass paint from a craft store and painted some white neons, it worked a treat so something to keep in my mind if you want a different colour to your regular blue/green/red neons. I've got plans for a few more interior modifications before i start on the outside, just wanted some opinions on it so far...

cheers.

whoa, is that like a pearl spray? is it expensive?

i think it looks pretty cool, although id go a dif colour. but very nice man.

It's like a harlequin style of paint, it ranges between a sea green colour and purple, it is fairly expensive paint seeing as you have to use a special base coat first, then the colour (5+ coats) and then a couple of clear coats over the top, my car exterior is gun metal grey so i'm trying to go for a Phantom theme hence the purple interior. The paint alos comes in a green colour that looks like the sheen on stink beetles and also a tangerine colour which looked mad but didn't really match the outside.

sounds cool, is that paint the proper paint used to paint cars? or you can buy it like that?

whats expensive? im thinking of painting my bike something like that.

well, it's proper in that it's not a pearl paint, it's actually green from one angle and purple from another angle, but i just bought it in a spray can pack, you wouldn't paint a car with this unless you were super keen, crazy, or was upgrading from a car done in house paint. It cost $89 for a three can pack (base,colour and clear) i used 2 packs to do the dash and another one to do some highlights on the doors. If you planned on using a pressure pack to paint your bike then you could use this paint, but i think you'd be better off with a professional jop for a deeper colour (esp. with this type of paint)

its just the frame of a road biciycle so shouldnt be a problem.

but that paint stuff sounds awsome man! im glad i know of it now.

ta!

oh ok then yeah for sure, i thought you were talking about a road bike as in a motorcycle, but yeah this stuff would be great on a pushy, i got it from supercheap but you could probably get it from any store that sells spray paint

i like the colour but i dont like the seat covers a little ott! i have dont my r32 in a silver pearl, with green red purple just a bit of everything in it looks pretty cool we made it up a autobarn! but im thinking of getting the sprayed pieces chromed instead its pretty pricey though!

cheers simon

The seatcovers are purple NO5 throwovers, which i too got from autobarn, they're probably not quite as bright as the photo makes them look, it was the only thing i could find to match the dash other than plain black, my missus just started working at the ipswich autobarn recently....staff discount is a beautiful thing

[gt-t_r34]

blitz front mount is your friend(off topic!) they get them for like 950-1000 with staff discount! the seat covers sorts of look like a fuesha colour...
