Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior whose car is this?

i want to know whose car this is...

that painted console is exactly what i want

how did you paint around the AC controls????

PLEASE HELP!!

maybe if you can get a close-up of the dash/AC area, then i can figure it out

it might be carbon fiber, but i cant see that from this far...but if it was, i dont know why there would be gray areas around the controls

looks like carbon fiber

umm look in the installs section...it has how to paint a center console...

i know how to paint a center console...i am just looking at methods for the AC control unit area

thats just a stick on Carbon Fiber dash kit

i say if you want to paint around the AC controls get some kinds of sticker like contact paper or something and use a compass to draw 2 concentric circles then cut it out so its like a ring. stick it over the controls and paint. then remove the sticker when the paint is dry. that what i would do.

its probably just a non oem sticker set. like b0x sells on ncDOTorg.

cant you use ceram wrap or however you spell that

I just drew the outlines of what I wanted to blank out on my computer and printed them on clear sticker paper. I cut them out and put them on the panel to mask off the AC stuff and removed them after the color coat. Then I clear coated everything. See my profile.

i dont think saran wrap would stick

just make a stencil and mask that area off. What i would do is mask off the lettering and paint over the whole area so that you dont have a color change. will take a lot of work to do that though a lot of time and a steady hand.

well around the ac controls you can use wide masking tape, cut to the size of a circle on the tape, then lay the tape over the controls so you cant paint it...

goose, you woundlt happen to still have your diagram, would you? that looks awesome

just paint over it!!! looks so smoother and clean

but i still want to see the lights...i changed the color, and i dont want to cover all that up after i did it

dude, just mask over the sections. Thats what I did, my came out perfect!
