Mitsubishi Eclipse / Eagle Talon Custom Painted Interior Silver, DSM, 420a

Eclipse Silver Custom Painted Interior , DSM , Eagle Talon


Inside preview of how the Codename: Upgrade cars interior paint will turn out!


This obviously is not my car. I was searching pictures that google could find which is increasingly difficult as nice DSM / Eclipse / Talon cars are diminishing and are reduced to ragged out race cars that ricer kids buy simply because they can trick there parents into buying it then try to compete with new cars by overdoing just about any mod or custom install on their cars. This car is in germany I think. He actually has about the same number of panels I would paint. Though I would not paint the Vents silver and the Bezel around the Screen as that would be tacky. Its easy to over do paint.

The important factor in painting interior is to be organized AND grouped together. Painting things at random just because they are easy to pop off isnt a good strategy. Most cars today are set up so that the bottom panels are plastic and top panels like the dash in made of vinyle. Vinyle sweats and stretches when it gets hot so dont count on getting a flawless paint coat on vinyle and prepare yourself for when it peels off! Now back to those Lower Hard Plastic panels. These lower panels are made durable and can have the texture wet sanded right off leaving a good candidate for automotive grade paint, wether it is House of Kolors or PPG. My color is Frost Silver or Cool White depending on what computer you have mix it. This color in the picture is about what mine would look like except with a slight frost to it. Also as the light diminishes with nightfall the crushed diamonds in the paint stop Twinkling and you see the base color white with a slight silver hue. Notice this color is NEVER bright white and maintains a gray scale. Colors work well together IF the hues matches.
