Eclipse Silver Interior paint scheme, however not Mine

As you can see many of the lower panels I would paint and are proposing to paint have been done in silver to match the car. I would not paint the vents and other random parts. Paint like its the outside of the car. Colors are grouped together and smooth lines not scattered color here and there.

Passenger side view of silver painted interior. I really like the Suede seats but they should probably be grey instead of Tan or maybe a darker Grey. I like how there are no Bolster Patches ( edge pieces possibly a different) I am contiplating using vinyle dye to make mine grey now to soften the color. I need to get the seats installed correctly first though :) PS dont go to spradleys car stereo in East Ridge / Chattanooga.

Cavemen are people too! Xbox 360 Painted Custom W26 Frost Done!

Cave Men are people too! Seen here spraying W26 Frost

Cavemen can paint too! This is Chad the Painter at Advance Auto Collision on Gunbarrel Road, Chattanooga, Tennessee. Seen here he is painting a Headboard to go in his new place and my Xbox 360 he painted is sitting to his right on the stands above his shoulder.


No flash with a 60 watt bulb across the room. This is fairly low light and not ideal for pictures. This paint formula really does bling bling though! It only takes a little light to start shimmering.

Xbox 360 Frost with Flash. The Crushed Diamond in the formula reacts to the flash! Because these are diamonds light passes through and they sparkle. Normal warm colors ( metallic) are light little mirrors that are aways sparkling. Diamonds sparkle the more light you put on them which is very bright during the day. All pictures were taken 3 hours after painted and before being reassembled.

Eclipse / Talon rendering for Frost White Interior



Before frost color

Graphics here were rendered by Jessie Page from Dreamcasteclipse.blogspot.com She used a picture from her eclipse which has all the same pieces as my talon. My glovebox will not have a switch to open it it will be shaved smooth before paint. Ten pieces will need to be painted to make the two tone frosted interior.
There are two of each of these to be painted
Door Seals
Side vents
Kick panels

Interior Concept for frost white Eclipse / Talon

The interior in the begining for the Codename Upgrade Car.



Notice the Screen where a Cd player would go. It was the goal of 2006 to put a computer in the car. We did and it had a DVD drive ( seen in the floor with black stripe) and computer behind glass in the dash. This had an awesome look but sunlight was a major enemy here and heat killed the computer. The glass was like a Greenhouse and computers dont like heat. So we take another aproach. The same glass top piece will be used but it will be tinted black to keep out heat from the sun. I am putting a microsoft Xbox 360 where the DVD drive is located currently and the bottom glass will be painted.
