Just beginning to paint the interior....
I used three coats of Duplicolour's "GM Lime Green" and five coats of clearcoat. First sanded down that horrible texture using 80 grit and eventually worked my way up to 220. Approximately three very fine coats of filler/primer, then wetsanded at 400 grit. Then came the painting and clearcoating. I probably should have sanded the clearcoat with 1500, but it's already incredibly smooth!

...I bet none of your dashes came with this accessory!

Three coats of primer and wet sanded...look at that shine!

Four coats of paint w/four coats of clear...
...unfortunately, it clouded over when I shot this, so it doesn't really do the paint job justice!

Beautiful Toyota, I love that interior. 5 stars, keep up the great work. Also, my Mustang is currently in the top 25 nominations for SOTW next week. It would be a great honor to win this title. So, if you like my Stang, please stop by and drop it a nomination. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and happy Superbowl Sunday! -Gotadime
