Hot tips that I think can improve this:
1. Get a plastic box to cover to pieces while they are drying to reduce the chances of debris falling on it.
2. If the pieces have previously been painted poorly or have lint under the paint, use acetone or paint thinner to remove the paint. Don't use a paint scraper or sandpaper unless you want to remove the texture.
3. Use a clear coat on top to prevent easy scratches.
:)
dont use acetone casue its plastic parts I would bet they are not able to take any of that acidic stuff it would just rub away plastic.
You deserve more views honestly the best channel when I wanna take care of my Z.
Thanks bro, I appreciate it. Getting comments like this always make my day better!
I agree. My son just flipped a 1995 Honda Accord DX Sedan into a 2005 350z Touring Vert 6spd in clean condition. Insane he got $6k for the Honda. He is just 18 and now has his own place (just a studio with a fridge/cooktop and bathroom, but still pretty cool) just working his butt off. I have been helping build his Z up and this channel is awesome for it. His interior needs a little work and this was great.
That looks almost 100%, those minor blems are going to happen in a DD anyway. You took 10 years off the car's interior age easily. Well done and I hope your channel can take off. I haven't seen more recent content, but you left a legacy of information.
Thanks bro! Appreciate you 🙏
old video - just got a 2006 350Z with only 66K but the prev. owner did some poor paint touch up so I'm in the same situation here. I did a similar job a few years back on a 2nd gen. Toyota Tacoma where I painted the gray interior trip parts black. I remember doing a several step process using SEM products. If I remember correctly: 1 - SEM soap 2 - adhesion promoter 3 - SEM interior plastic paint (black) 4- SEM matte clear.
I've done a lot more painting since this video, your process is pretty much spot on lol
@@fullthrottleperformance I'm debating the painting process (still look more OEM) vs. doing the stick on real carbon fiber pieces made by EVO-R (much more expensive) My Z is an automatic and is just a cruiser/touring car and I really just want to keep it more original looking.
i'm sure this is the best repaint video on YT! Nice job dude! I bought metarials today :D
Hey man, thanks for the support! And good luck with your z!
Great content brother.
I can’t take the beeping! Dude, take your keys out of the ignition.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Looks great, man. Very thorough job! 💯
I have a Z in great condition, but still has scratches on the damn dash panels. Might have to do this on it
I did this a while ago, and it's still holding up strong. I'll have a vid out soon with an update of the interior
Like the vid. How effective is this method without sanding as I don’t want to mess up the texture. Does it look darker than the oem color?
It looks nice, I've never had any issues with this method, I've still got these installed on my vehicle, and it still looks nice. It is a little off from the OEM color, but it matches very well. I'll do an update video on how it looks now, soon.
No way I could be happy after doing a job then leaving a big noticeable mess-up that my job was supposed to fix.
I knowwwww! lol it sucked, but I was able to touch it up :)
The first year 350zs plastic part interiors were color coded the later year 350zs plastics parts were painted by Nissan what caused the paints to chip
Yes, the Grey 03 production date years were not very prone to chipping. They actually still hold up after all these years. Unfortunately, the cubby doors for the 03 models were the worst. But this video is pretty old now, and I've still never had to repaint anything after this. I do have some scratches on my shift bezel, but that's from when I installed my hydro. User error lol
wrapping it in flat black or carbon vinyl is easier and results are better.
Tom R I personally like the OEM look more, but yeah it'd probably look pretty nice tho
I just tore my wrap off to paint them. I had a carbon fiber wrap and it doesnt stick very good to the material of the trim. I had small imperfections to the wrap and it killed me. Definitely going to paint
Would you recommend spraying some sort of clear protectant on everything after painting?
Hi mate, thank you for the video! Can u please tell what model of car audio you use which fitz 350Z? i want to change my japanese audio for smth like that
What double din trim is that surrounding the Pioneer Head Unit? Looks like one of the best fitting pieces Ive seen for the Z
Honestly, it really does fit nice. I don't know what the brand is though. It came on a parts car z that I bought.
Just got both the paint and adhesive promoter you used, had to Ebay it, wanted exact stuff.Not going to do gauges, all my damage is on the lower radio area, the cubby lid and the shift area.Watching this vid over again!!
TripleM__QGTM All the work is in good prep, make sure you use mist coats, don't apply too much because it'll start to fish eye(rejected paint spots). But if you take your time it'll come out nice and stay nice. Mine still looks great. Good luck
Full Throttle I've got everything that was listed by you including the tack paper.I am starting this morning, and will definitely follow your steps to the T.Thanks.
Full Throttle all dry and looks great man, just reinstalled.Going to tag your channel on Instagram, dont know if you have one
Hey man, that's awesome. Thanks, Instagram is @Justdriftcharlie same picture as here on YT
Full Throttle put it up on IG and tagged you, you definitely deserve more subs.Thanks man!
Hi I'm having trouble with my gas gauge it's full but indicates 1/2 I know there a sender a gas pump gauge which one is the most to be default thanks
Can you wax or get regular carwash? Like get it wet and stayed the same or you gotta keep it dry ?
I don't quite understand? Do you mean, can these be cleaned?
I hope you use Enamel based spray paint.
Or else every thing is going to scratch off again.
I also didnt see you use primer the pieces.
I've had this done for about 3 years, and still looks new. No primer, the base already acts as a primer(as I didn't sand it completely off)
so the button for the cubby is black underneath? once you scratched off all of the paint, the true plastic color is black? just wanted to clarify
Yes, it's black. And honestly it looks good enough to not paint. It comes out like a gloss black when you remove the old paint.
Full Throttle cool man thank you! and what did you use to get the paint and primer off of the little switch button?
Is y’all do this disconnect the batter
I need to touch up my cubby door as well -- Do you have any ideas how I could do this without pulling anything out? Obviously not spraying it, but paint is paint.. Is there a good brush/tool whatever I could put this paint on and then 'dab' the door itself for a decent result? Just think of it as a touch up of the whole door :p
(I've pulled it all apart many times.. I just don't want to and I have things that will not go back together properly if removed again.. primarily involving the aftermarket headunit.. so I really can't remove it.)
I appreciate any response(s)!
What you could do is, use plastic garbage bags cut them up. Mask off the rest of your dash, trim, windshield, steering wheel, etc. Prep good, and give it a shot at spraying it in the car. It's gonna give the best results. But if you really don't want to spray it, I don't really know of any brush that'll give decent results. Hope that helps, but good luck!
Thanks for responding. So you don't think there's a sponge/brush of any type that will hold the paint that someone can dab for decent results?
GuessTechSports There might be something, but that's a method I've never tried before. You could take a paint matched rattle can and take a sponge, and moisten the sponge with acetone or high content isopropyl alcohol, then spray the paint onto a portion of the sponge, then dab the area you want to paint with that part of the sponge. I've done that with cracked leather seats to fill the cracks, like blend the cracks with the leather on the seat to make them not as noticeable. It's something you could try but idk if it'll work out for trim pieces
Could you link a proper sponge for this kind of work? Also why acetone/alcohol to moisten? *I obviously know nothing about paint.
GuessTechSports I just use a regular sponge, but not the scratchy side. Just the soft part of a sponge. And because acetone and alcohol act as a paint thinner.
Did you use primer on the door switches
where did you buy your radio ?
Could you make a video of you uninstalling the center arm rest of the nissan 350z (nissan 350z center console armrest removal) and reinstalling it please thanks
From the shifter toward the speaker In the back the one long piece
Hai Huynh Yeah, I can do that. I'll add it to my list 👍
Beep beep beep beep!
R there any after market clusters for the oil pressure and voltage on the 350Z? I want to keep the information cluster.
I'm not 100% sure, I've never seen one. Unless your talking about relocating them somewhere else
Why paint them ?
They would way better in suede
That is true, maybe I'll try this idea sometime. lol
Do you have any videos of installing the pioneer radio?
This is the only video that comes close to installing, I will be getting another double din probably next summer and I can do a video then.
How much do you charge if i wanted to send you my dash parts for you to paint? Ive tried repainting mine twice. 1st time w/ matte black and the paint didnt take. 2nd time was w/ rhino liner....and well...yeah.lol
It would be pretty difficult to spray after you've tried twice. What's the condition? You can send a message to me on FB - Jusdrift Charlie (no "t" in just), Or on Instagram Justdriftcharlie (make sure the picture is me) there's a few fake profiles that people made of me, which is why I didn't have social media for a while besides Facebook.
Currently its back to a primered state. I used really fine sandpaper to get all the rhino liner off which in turn also removed all the factory texture on the center dash. Im just wondering if i should just break out my wallet and spend the huge amount of money for a new factory center dash/door pcs or send it to you or try painting it again using the paint/materials you used.
Mike Bonez I can spray it, but it'd cost a decent amount to ship and I'd have to get materials again. If you just take your time and follow what I did in the video and use a paint designed for interior panels like the paint I used in the video it should turn out fine. Just remember to do mist coats. If you don't, then the paint will want to reject because of the type of rubberized paint the factory used. The more light coats you do the better it comes out, if you try to cover it in one or two coats sometimes it doesn't work out great. You just added me on FB?
Thanks!👍 I am going to try your method next wkend. I think that was my first mistake. I used the wrong kind of paint and i think i was too close when applying it. My prep work was identical to yours though. And yes, i just req you on FB. I should of done IG as there's more and better pics of my 350z there.
Mike Bonez Yeah man give it another shot before cashing out on new stuff, the only thing I'd change is I would've let it dry over night before reinstalling. But good luck man, hope it comes out cool! 👌
Why did nissan make such a bad interior on the Z . Can you do my car ill pay you.
I'm in Sacramento, if you're local I can do yours
@@fullthrottleperformance Im not im in Virginia
@@fullthrottleperformance How much would you charge though?
If you paid for shipping I'd charge approximately 100 just for the labor
Do you live in California or do you own a shop you could do this for me
I do have a shop in California, message me on instagram @justdriftcharlie or fb Jusdrift Charlie
Should have sanded them a little
Dylan Ippolito Its been over a year since I've done this, paint still looks new. If you sand it, it messes the OEM texture up
Yeah but maybe if you hit it with a 800 grit just a really smooth sand paper you could smooth some of the rough surfaces off and still keep the orn look. Have you thought about hydro dipping them yourself. Would be a good how to video. I’m thinking about doing that to my interior but yeah it still looks clean and I love your videos.
Dylan Ippolito Honestly, I'd love to learn to hydro dip. And I think I'll give it a try soon, but yeah just in my experience a lot of people have tried to paint these prior to me. And done pretty terrible jobs, and with how expensive these pieces are, I'd rather not mess anything up. But hey man, thanks for the support! 👍
Are you really not going to sand all those prior to painting? 🤦🏻♂️
Casey Jones I wanted to keep the OEM texture, sanding would've removed all the texture. Ive done this process quite a few times now, and as long as the prep is good, then the paint sticks for a long time, my car has had these bezels for about a year now, and it's been in the California heat, and it still looks great. Go ahead and try sanding, you'll probably just disappoint yourself.
Full Throttle I would probably just use a high grit paper that would more just lightly scuff the surface and not really remove any texture. If your paint holds so well a little bump into the shifter wouldn’t have removed paint so badly. But hey what do I know I’ve only done it a few times. I personally wouldn’t be happy with the scratches showing be rather the fresh paint. I side more towards longevity by doing a more tedious process but that’s just me. 🍻
Casey Jones So, you've done it a few times. Why are you watching a video on how to do it? Give your sanding method a try bud, the only reason it got damaged is because the material underneath is rubbery while the paint is hard. Plus it wasn't a little bump, it was all the pressure of the radio, and everything else, resting on a very small point.
Full Throttle just tripped across your video while watching 350z videos. Wasn’t trying to learn how to refinish. Just thought I’d comment because I’ve never seen good results from not sanding before and between coats.
This was really good .....until....I saw the blue tape 🚫 but you used bulldog so I watched...
