Hey all

 

well atm in the process of customizing alota stuff in my ke70, and I'm onto the door trims.

 

I would like to know what products to use on the door plastisc to change the colours (and for it to last a little bit, not just to flake off when u touch it)

 

see pic...

 

 

The vinal is going black :D

& the little bit around the door handel inside is just gona be replaced with the black 1's that came out on the ke55s :rolla:

 

any ideas ? thanks !

I'm pretty sure you can get vinyl paint.......for doing this type of thing.....that could be a way to go....or you could "remake" your doortrims using macinite (spelling).....

ive got some old door trims

(thanks nick!)

and i have striped all the vinal off them, and all the plastic bits.

 

I am putting down new vinal, then I'm left with brown handel bits & surrounding piece. They are the bits i wata change the colour off.

 

what is this macinite you speek ok? :D

macinite is a kind of manufactured thin board.....brown in colour and rough on one side and smooth on the other.....sometimes used for moreton island sand tobbogging....:D

cool! Thanks !

 

i wonder what a polished wood strip would look like on my doors?

 

- or a crome strip... mmmm.....

 

such a problem.. ahh ! lol

yeah, tried that today with ian - but the choise is faded sky blue & brown - and always a little crystalized...

 

Black ! - gah, they never came in Black !

 

- i looked @ mazdas, Datsuns, Fords, toyotas - anything! but they were all non-black & / Or Crappy / unsuitable.

Nick: yup.....you could do that too....:D

i tried to photo chop it - and it didnt work at all ... only because I'm trina do it black, and getting it to look correct just isnt happening ! !!

lol - i searched untill i was outa searchin power today @ the wreckers !

 

u sure there isnt any way u can colour that plastic ? :D

I've heard some good things (and some bad things) about vinyl spray. I think if you do it well it should last a bit.

do u use vinal spray for plastics?!

he means masonite

 

use vht yinyl color to change the color of your pvc vinyl doorcards, however if the doorcard sees alot of action (ie: drivers side one cos your leg's always against it) the stuff tends to rub off after time. you'd never spray a seat with it

 

you can also get your doorcards retrimmed, or do it yourself. just strip off the shit and make new pieces of material, buy some velour or vinyl from a motor trimmer, staple it to the back like you would when covering a parcel shelf, you could probably glue it too. drill (very) small holes in the backing and you can sew cool designs into it as well

 

pretty sure you could use a window winder from just about any car, get some chrome ones off a ke20/30, there's bound to be thousands of others at the wreckers that will fit

 

personally, i think nothing is more leet than carbon fibre doorcards. you'd be looking at a fair bit of $ for the sheets, but mmm drool drool drool, weight saving drift spec

 

to color plastic, you use a plastic primer and a paint to match it. speak to a proper car paint shop (retail smash repairs etc), they should be able to sell you the right stuff

there's some cool looking chrome window winders in the latest repco cattledog :D

 

as for the door trims, just rip off the old vinyl, head down to spotlight and go nuts buying material :rolla:

Purple fluff. You know you want purple fluff. It'll suit the fluffy dice :D

lol

 

the dice are yellow !!

 

and, I'm getting the black vinyl from clark rubber :D

Cromies from ke20/ 30s eh?

 

Swoit :rolla:
