okay so here you go this was based on actual painting of my interior that may help other members...its up to the mod where you put this one stick it or dump it i dont care... for me this is a big one I save several hundreds compare to upholstery shop charging just to dye the plastic pieces in my car that they charge 950-1200 based on the shop i went to.. so i decided to do it on my own you'll get the same results or better than what they do.. trust me and you'll feel better that no one touch your car except you espescially for under 50 bucks....

***all materials listed are based on my project, you may need more or less than what is listed...espescially beer...hahaaa
total work hours::: 5 including pic taking
you have to remove the pieces in the car this make your job alot easier..
always work with clean surroundings and make sure you have all the nescessary materials before starting the project so be patient...
first you have to clean the pieces need to be painted using soapy water
this where you need the bucket and dishwashing soap...you have to soak it with water using the sponge...some people said using warm water is better but i used running water and came out fine....
once done cleaning the pieces with soap dont wash it with water leave the pieces soapy and wipe it with terry towel...
and let it air dry....wait like 5 to 10 mins depending on temp and humidity
once it dried up start cleaning the pieces with the alcohol using the shop towel or whatever you wanna use...
and ofcourse air dry again....hahaa
***start masking if needed****
after masking if you want you can reapply alcohol to the pieces to remove some of your finger prints and try "not to touch the pieces with bare hands"
and wipe it with the tack cloth to remove some dirt and dust that stay with the pieces... always use this everytime you start painting so you'll have a clean surface...
and start painting...always do the thin coat way...dont rush it!!!
looking good so far...
start removing the tape and....
not too bad...
thanks to my garage ... my favorite part of the house...
