I want to paint the interior of my mx-3 white. The middle console and the area around gauges. Does anyone have any advice on how to go about doing this? I think that I can figure out how to get everything apart, but any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

This is how I did mine..<BR>To do you interior..<BR>Clean all the parts with a sponge/alcohol. this will remove grome/oily finish. After that let the alcohol evaporate. Try not to touch iy at all after this so you dont get oil from your hands on your parts.<P>Next use Krylon Satin to give it a nice finish (its not flat, but yet not glossy.) With the krylon satin, Use LOTS of light coats. MAKE SURE YOU LET EVREY COAT DRY !ST. this could take 20+ coats. Do not rush it , it will turn out bad with runs. <P>After that. <BR>Do the same with Krylon Satin clear. Do the same steps for paining, let each one dry. It turns out very well.<P>------------------<BR>Barry Clark<BR><I><B>Moderator</B></I><BR>1995 Mazda Mx-3 RS<BR>Chaste White<BR><A HREF="http://www.barrykclark.com" TARGET=_blank>barrykclark.com</A><BR> barrykclark@hotmail.com

True, barry is right. I used his way and my interior is excellent. I did the blue color on the interior (speaker grilles, vents on corner by windshield, blue front grill on outside of car, etc. I have yet to do all the rest around the gauges, etc. That will happen soon though.<P>Any questions, just email me, I know barry is really busy.<P>Chris<P>------------------<BR>Mazda MX-3, Black, Automatic, 1994 I4
