Painting Bits

So wanting to do something to make the interior pop more (biege/piano black), I was going to buy and add all the red pieces to replace the Piano black items, as in the R58 JCWs.

I decided to try my hand at some painting first, and, it seems like it's going to come out great! I used B22 from Paintscratch, the spray can + their 1k clear spray. Bulldog adhesion promoter and Rust-Oleum 2x ultra primer.

The clear will need time to cure (giving ataleast a week) before I can wet sand and polish, so it's got a lot of peel to it right now, but that'll all go away when wet sanded and polished.

Door trim will now get done, these were the tests because they're a lot cheaper to replace if ruined than the doors, and nothing looks worse than "custom yo" shabby interior painting.

So pics:

Test fit to check color match, seems nearly perfect.

Test, needs wet sand still.
thanks
