Re: Project Lex
Continuing with operation interior rehab. I sourced a couple replacement black interior panels and some black carpet from a guy who is basically the equivalent of the DSM Graveyard but for SC's.
But still many of the interior parts will not be OEM black so I decided to start working on coating some of the factory tan pieces with SEM. Never used this stuff before but man my initial impression is that it's very nice. Time will tell how long it lasts, but it's supposed to be the good stuff so I'm hoping for the best!
1) Clean with SEM Soap and scotch brite
2) Clean with SEM Prep Cleaner (alcohol basically)
3) Spray on SEM Adhesion Promoter
4) Spray on several light coats of SEM Color Coat (Landau Black)
On the first pieces (rear large trim pieces) I ended up using a whole can of Black, and did about 7 light coats (5min between coats) until I felt like all the tan was hidden. On the second pieces I did it only took me 5 coats.
I'm about out of the black so I have 3 more cans on order.
The photos of the large trim pieces show what it looked like with 1 coat, 3 coats, then 7 coats.
