99 escalade color change

[Ceejkay]

so the tan just isnt doing it for me.. im going to do the truck in black.. this is the one in a million projects im doing right now so progress will be slow...
Headliner is first, for about 30$ in materials this is what i came up with. keep in mind im not a pro and there are some flaws..
before cutouts


now this little guy here is for the dvd player.. it annoyed me it wasnt flush so i figured while i was going through all this work i would fix that..





now with the dvd player up front the factory light was removed.. i think the light looks 10x better than the one that was for the back so im putting it in the back.. still have to cut out the console and rear speaker covers..

Damn that looks good. You sure you haven't done this before?? lol
Can't wait to see the finished project pic's.

thanks guys.. i have done this before but im not a professional, just a tinker'er(sp?).. so i had a crazy idea hit me.. how about rhino lining the plastic trim peices, not including the dash or door cards or center console? im not looking for a show rig but something when i get into it im not saying what a pos...

 

[AtomicHoe094]

looks good man, not sure on how the rhino lining would hold up on a plastic. Is that stuff flexible?

 

[Ceejkay]

yea its flexible, basically its a rubber coating.. it was just a thought.. i got the speaker grills done and the center console done..

not 2 shabby...

got the headliner 90% in, still have to put the visor clips up and the front pass oh shit handle on..


also got the dash started..


looks black right??? not when the sun hits it..i thought it was bleed through but it actually is brown, can says black.. i used rustoleum vinyl paint on the dash, to where ive used duplicolor fusion for everything else ive done.. so looks like im going to have to do this agian with the duplicolor.. ill give it 24hrs to dry first


i know im not going to get it perfect the PO scratched a bunch of the brown off somehow.. thats the defects in the last picture.. i just want it black.. i cant begin to tell you how annoyed i am.. this is the second rustoleum product that i have used thats supposed to be black and turns brown in the sun.. first was their bedliner stuff...

 

[Ceejkay]

got the dash finished up.. trim up to a pillars are done but it was too dark for pictures..
