What was your process for doing the pillars and visors? Please do a little step by step

Well I just stuffed the pillers up a little with a fine grit sand paper. I used 1000 grit. Nothing to make it noticeable then cleaned then with soapy water. I put 3 coats on them and put them back in . I just cleaned the visors and sprayed about 2 coats on the vinyl side then about 4-5 on the fabric side. Sprayed all coats about 2 minutes apart. Iy was all pretty simple.

Roughed it up a little so the paint has something to stick to. If the surface is too smooth the paint will just peel off.

Sweet man, what did you use to paint em?

This was the driver side pillar. Had a pod and I removed it and filled holes

The visors

I used Dupil-Color Vinyl and fabric spray.

So how did you fill the holes? Bondo?
Also, I saw that you did the visors and dash.
So was the dash already black or did you paint it? I have tried to figure out what material the dash and doors are. They feel like a plastic but are also feeling like a fake leather.

I used that steel putty stuff to fill the holes. Then bondo'd over it, sanded then painted.
The dash and doors were already black. The rest was tan. That Dupli-color vinyl and fabric paint will work. they sell it at OReileys. There's all different colors.

Sweet, so how does the black match up with the factory dash? What I mean is are they about the same shade or are they like noticably off?

They look pretty sweet and look like a fun weekend project! :lol:
