I would like to repaint a couple interior sections of the car and have it look close to original. Where do you get good quality paint and what prep is necessary?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)
Thanks Bill |

Find an automotive paint place near you. Take your car (or a painted piece of it) and your paint code. Ask them to look up the code or take a digital sample off the car. Clean the area to be painted of oil, old adhesive, etc. Sand the area to be painted with 320 grit. Mask off the areas you don't want painted. Be very thorough. I'm not talking about a 1 foot border. I'm talking mask off the whole interior except for the area to be painted. You can either get a touch up paint gun to spray the paint, or you might be able to get it in an aerosol can. Let it dry a day or two to be sure.

Someone suggested this site to me, look under the correct year under VW for your code. You may get a local auto paint shop to mix it up for you and put it in a rattle can too, as suggested above. Light Ivory, guess that is your '73 |
