before it paint the interior i want to sand it first. should i soak the sand paper in soapy water first. and should i sand the interior peices wet. i bought 600 and 1500 grit paper. also for primer is any auto primer good enough to use.

Sand the pieces with soapy water (gets rid of the oils on the part while sanding) and any primer should work.

What color you going with?

im a little unsure what color im going with yet, im just gonna try a few colors. im probably going with black. maybe a semigloss. im doing everything like that and if i dont like the look then im getting the whole dash cover with real leather and then just the accent pieces in black. and the door skins im going with T/A door skins and recovering them in leather. instead of the vinyl and carpet that is on them.

i hate the cheap plastic look of the interior but i like the basic design of it so im changing it to what i want. probably take a couple of months before im finished. my aunts company can do custom leather work so im gonna see if she can do it. if not ill try. i promise it will look good whatever id do.

I'm going the same route by bagging and doing carbon fiber. I'll probably be starting in the next couple weeks. :-D Let me know how the leather goes, that should look sweet!

i think if i do it myself i might just mock up the dash pieces in a cheaper material first to make a pattern to cut out the leather. i just have to find something that doesn't have to much stretch. I think the hardest piece will be the drivers side of the dash.
