Have a look at 3M's Dinoc films . Its a heat formable vinyl with over a hundred different finishes. On youtube there are many more videos of installs available. Have a look at this one.

Nice vid, too much work.

 

I'm liking this much!!!!!! How long did it take, what paint did you use? any pieces need new hardware from breakage?

 

I didn't do them all at once. The toughest were the door panels; pulling them, taking off door handle, etc...

I didn't need to replace any pieces. In addition to what you see in these pics, I also did the dome light and the piece around the sunroof controls.

Total time: 12-16 hours (mostly prep work)

Used oem rattle cans and duplicolor has a perfect match for Victory Red in a rattle can. I did use an attachment to put on the cans that acts like a holder/sprayer. It gave me better control. Most pieces were two coats color, two coats clear. Some took three coats of clear. ALL were first sprayed with adhesion promoter. I waited for each coat to get "sticky" (about 10-15 minutes) before doing the next coat.

 

Thank You! Very nice and the paint fumes are a bonus.... doing this!

 

Hi Mike, that looks wonderful! do the pices come off seperatly to paint or did you have to mask off and paint while there?

 

Everything came off except for the sections on the door panels. Those were a tape job, still off the car though.

 

i did the paint thing with my s10 and my hondas
the stick on's look soooo much easier

 

They are, that's why I didn't do it in my wife's. My main suggestion would be to ask the company for samples. I saw the same kit as my wife's on another car but the edges had a finished edge rather than a "cut" look. It look a LOT better.

What color is your interior?
