i got my pod in the mail the other day and its black and i would like to change it to match the rest of my car. the car is teal outside and the inside is tan.
what is that coulor name and what can i use to get it done?
thanks
Just go to an auto parts store, grab some spray paint and try to find what looks right to you...maybe bring a pic of your car to help...
thanks man, i was also noticing its not a replacement part i have to tape it on thats really sucks i got it from glow shift. i kinda wanted a pillar replacment do they make one? if i tape it on maybe ill have to drill through both to run my power leads and stuff?
They do make them as whole replacements...you MIGHT have to drill into the original to run wiring...thats why its just easier to get the full pillar replacement...
thats what i wanted but i guess i'll have to do with what i have.
whos makes the full replacement?
Like i said to you on MSN, dont forget to CLEAN/PRIME. I know many people say to just paint it, but I say don't cheap out and if you want it to last take the time to do it properly. Start with a 120ish grit sand paper, wash it off with soap/water, and then wipe down with alcohol(methyl hydrate - found in paint department at canadian tire in pink bottles).
Use sandable primer, and just primer 2 LIGHT coats, and resand with a 200 grit. Wash it again, prime it again two light coats and now 400 grit...keep repeating this process until you are satisfied with the smoothness...if there are dents/scuffs ect, take them out in the primer stage. Once its nice, wash it again with soap/water, and then alcohol.
Now start painting, use light coats of paint, you dont want runs. After 2-3 coats of paint, wash it again. Now start with clear coat, clear is much more runny than paint, so the 'light' coat rule is extremely important here. 2 light coats of clear, and then wet sand with 1500-2000 grit. I find just fill your laundry tub up, submerge the peice and lightly sand it with the uber fine paper. Then apply 1-2 more coats of clear coat and you should be good to go.
