hey everybody

so basically, i mad some bad choices and lets just say i needed a new shell :cry:

so i have roughly no interior, i have a drivers seat, dash, door panels, the trim around the steering column, and...that's about it

i want to remove that darn sound deadening and make the ugly gutted interior look not so ugly before i put the panels i want to run back in and maybe even carpet one day i don't know yet. it looks really ugly at the moment....

so i want to get it looking clean and painted before...so i would like the paint and or process that is durable enough for loading stuff in there and resistant to scratches and what not, so if anybody has had any good results please pass on the info. thanks

i failed is what i did. hit a light post at the a pillar going around 30 whilst drifting on the street like an idiot

and i sorta like the bed liner idea. it dosnt spray right is more like a heat thing? im sorta turned off from just paint cause im loading stuff in and out when i go to the track and if im gonna spend the time to make it look ok then i want it to stay that way lol

there's spray on bed liner, and roll on. it will probably be more resistant to scratches and gouges than paint.

agreed... just an FYI if you use the bed liner sand the piss outta the paint and it'll stick like crazy.

the texture isnt that deep either, if you want smooth tho look into POR15. once that's on something its permanent...

and i really only learned that drifting a camaro with s*** suspension and an open diff = fail... i was nice and sideways and then it just pointed towards the fire hydrant... i tried to take it with me but it was too heavy lol

haha yeah i feel like complete s*** destorying that 240 it was amazing and set up perfectly

now i got a POS bucket but once i get it set up it will drift great. i feel like such an effing newb...

i started getting rid of the sound deading in the interior ATM and ill be painting it after that and i think bedliner would look nice on the interior with some of the pannels in there sorta like a replacement carpet haha
