Painted some interior trim...

[DERJ]

My first time painting interior trim - turned out pretty good for spray cans in the garage. I'll wait to see how well it holds since I don't know if I used enough adhesion promoter and I ran out of clear coat:

as I am new to rams is your air filter standard to sport r/s or is it after market
I plan in doing some under hood paint I am thinking either ruby chrystal or hemi orange
after seeing your interior I think I will add some colour to the inside as well

It's the Vararam Air Grabber.

Thanks - the air filter is a Vararam that used to be orange, but it looked out of place after I put on the white half engine covers.

That looks awesome! Removing the chrome in mine was on the list, looks like I'll be going this route.

Man that looks awesome! I have been wanting to do mine the same color, but worried how dirty hands would be with the white. Keep us posted how it holds up. I may try the plastidip with glossifier as a test run too.

Thanks everyone - I'm thinking to put another coat of clear on just to strengthen it, but I'll keep ya posted.

where did you get the valve covers?

where did you get the valve covers?

They're half engine covers - I got them from 3gCustomz.com and then had them powder coated white.

Here are a few other pics:

What paint did you go with?

What paint did you go with?

I used Duplicolor since they had an exact paint match. I used the primer, adhesion promoter, paint, and clear. They're cheap and available everywhere. Amazon has the 6 pack of paint for $32...

My only complaint is with the clear - 3 coats and it still doesn't look like it's got any. I'm going to try SEM clear next time...

The 6 pack of paint on Amazon comes with what you mentioned? You have a link to exact product? I'm looking at doing the exact same thing...

I used about 4 cans of color for the parts I painted - these cans are ~9$ each at Autozone, so this 6-pack deal can't be beat:
Amazon.com: Dupli-Color (BCC0362-6 PK) Bright White Chrysler Exact-Match Automotive Paint - 8 oz. Aerosol, (Case of 6): Automotive

I used some left over white primer in my garage, but honestly, I don't think it's needed if you lightly sand and use adhesion promoter.

And the adhesion promoter (1 can is plenty):
Amazon.com: Dupli-Color CP199 Clear Adhesion Promoter Primer - 11 oz.: Automotive

But I wouldn't use the Dupli-color clear again so I just ordered a can of this to try out:
Amazon.com: SEM 40903 - 1K HS Clear - High Performance Clearcoat: Automotive
