    IS there anyway you can paint your interior peices but still let them look like they came that color stock? (not sure if that makes sence) but say i wanted a BMW color scheme with brown and black in my truck and i wanted the interior to look like it came stock that way not glossy like the paint on the body of the truck. is there a way to paint while maintaining a stock look?

    Yes you can do that by using interior paint and not sanding the factory grain out of the parts. All you have to do is clean the parts really good with soap and water, then let them dry out, then paint.

    I wish people were like slinkys, fun to play with but when I get bored I can push them down the stairs.

    Use SEM rattle can paints......colors are perfect and the sheen (sp?) is just right too.

    CKTA is right.

    SEM gives sheen (factory look), not shine (like your paint finish), and does well from the spray can or paint gun.
