You absolutely need to post some pictures when you get this done. I was thinking about this myself a couple of weeks ago after noticing some of my silver trim had worn away to the black plastic underneath. What type of paint will you be using? I'm wondering if some of that Rustoleum stuff specifically for plastic would work, but am a bit concerned about being able to rub it off. Are you going to sand off the old finish or simply paint over the existing?alyoung wrote:Im painting the plastic parts on the inside of my '07 SE but im stuck on what to do about the letters on the shifter piece (RND123) and the cruise control lettering i dont want to lose them. is there any way of painting those parts without painting the letters i woud try tape but theyre so small its almost imposible to do. any advice or opinions would be appreceated. thanks
Gotcha. I'm looking forward to your results. One idea for the labels would be to use stencils & just use another color of paint for the lettering. I know you can buy them at arts & crafts stores and I know they come in a ton of different sizes. If you don't find anything you like, you could create your own.alyoung wrote:i was considering using the krylon fusion because i have used it on exterior plastic parts on my other car and i figure if it holds up to exterior plastic it should work well on interior i probably wont use primer but imma give each part a light scuff the good thing is the krylon says it bonds to the plastic so it fills real minor scratches the scuff pad will leave then imma probablt give it some clear also krylon fusion im still debating that because i dont want it to be to glossy but lets see i wanna color match to the truck (majestic Blue) but the wife wants it black if i go color match its different kind of paint found some on ebay made by omni-paint but if i go that way i gotta use primer so its still a toss up. probably go black its eaier and if the wifes happy im happy my only hang up is i dont wanna lose the cruise control lables imma have to find a way to not paint them or maybe buy a some kind lable maker that makes small letters
You don't actually "upload" to this site. All the pictures you see in the various threads are links to pictures hosted on other sites. All you need is the link/URL to your picture(s) & then insert into a post here. There are a number of free image hosts you can choose from if you don't already use one, such as Flickr, Smugmug, etc. When you insert a picture into a post like this, use either the Img button above your post window, or manually type inalyoung wrote:Thanks i didnt think of the stencils fron craft stores. i was thinking of creating some custom graffiti lettering or caligraphy but we will see. can you tell me how to upload pics here so when the time comes im not stuck.
Site is back up now:alyoung wrote:thanks to all. and hollywood i dont know why but i get nothing when i click the link you gave.
I am assuming that your Pathfinder does not come with factory bluetooth. If it did, then I believe you should of already had the illuminated switches. There are basically two versions:alyoung wrote:thanks hollywood thats the way i would love to go because just like in that thread i plan o changing the amber to blue throughout the interior. i cant seem to find anything on where i could buy the illluminated panel and would you happen to know what the best lights would be to change the amber to blue. thanks
