[Ak LTD Xplorer]

[snowburns]

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

i would like to do that, but my truck is black, so what the heck am i supposed to paint it? i think i'm just gonna go with the wood trim around the radio and door switches. nothing crazy, just a nice accent. should look good with a tan interior too.

you could do it... so it would be really b;ack and glossy

Silver or billet look

with tan though? i think it would look great with grey interior, but it might look a little cheesy with tan.

that would be fantastic if you can get a pic. i would love to see what it looks like. it could be my next project

 

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

here i found pic's..i really love it together

you like?

Ak, i must say i do like that alot. i stand corrected. do you have any idea actually what color and brand your grandpa used to get that billet look? or is that factory? cuz it looks factory, it looks good. i would do the radio surround, the center console area w/ the cupholders and stuff, the bezel, the door switch panels, and maybe the glove box. but i don't want it shiny or chrome looking, i like your grandpa's b/c it looks sharp, not ghetto.

that's the way sprt trac's and 01-up sport's came from the factory..im not sure of the paint code..he does not own the truck anymore..so i couldent look..but im sure with some searching you could find out

thats what i figured. that looks to good not to be factory.i'll have to search a little and find out the color or just got the auto store and find a good match. thanks for the help.

it is a silver..any light silver would look about the same

 

[snowburns]

well this sucks...after seeing all of these painting interior stuff pics, i'm starting to want to too.....

 

[Ak LTD Xplorer]

well,get your paint code go down to "HI-TECH" auto body paint supply(on lakeotis) and they can make you spray can's of your color..but it's all in the prep

 

[snowburns]

yeah but, with a blue interior if i paint the black stuff inside i'm afraid of it being too blue...know what i mean?
