I want my AC vents to look really *clean*
so I want to take them out and paint them...
my questions is what color do you think I should do?
I have a super red from Rust Oleum
and a flat white from Krylon
both are great paints...but idk what color I want because I think either one is going to look great...
color scheme is red black and white so I thought I should add white to go with the gauges and the white in the Carbon Fiber
but the red ac overlays look great right now because the red looks great
I am painting it red...

Red it is..
I got them all out and took the plastic thing for the windows and locks out...
I tried getting the mirror control plastic off...and I got the whole one side of it...then i broke a clip that holds it down off the other side and said screw it...lol I didn't want to break it anymore...

how many coats do you guys think I need?
I should apply them lightly each time correct?
the paint I am using is Professional enamel and too much = blobs and bubbles and streaks and crappppppp
so light coats correct?
says dries to touch in 15 minutes...how often should I do these coats?
1-2 hours to handle...

the paint doesn't need clear coat... it is enamel so it has it right into it. Stun helped me out from this thread... it's really easy. https://celicahobby.com/ubbthrea...;o=&fpart=1

Take your time bro. After the painting wait a couple days wetsand, colorsand, then clearcoat. It'll turn out great! Can't wait to see it.
