load the photos off the camera onto your computer, use the upload function on photobucket... find the pic and hit upload, its pretty simple...
as for the paint, i highly recommend using Plasti-Dip. Its got a matte finish and has a rubbry texture. VERY resistant to impact / scratches. Form and function is awesome

lol i guess i worded the question wrong how do i post them up here on iwsti do i use the HTML code the IMAGE code or that other one? but hey thanks of the info bout the paint would love to maybe do a gloss black but yours came out so good dont kno if i wanna risk it lol

[Bishop]

I hear ya. to post pics, click on the yellow square w/ the mountains (insert image) and paste the direct link code from photobucket

Bishop,

Thanks for doing this. I have talked about doing this, just have not found the time. Nice work, gives me an idea or two

[Bishop]

not a problem, i just posted in your thread about the link to this how-to..... feel free to post a link here yourself, or post a link to the overlay thread.... for some reason when i attempted it in the 1st post it wouldnt find the thread.... it worked like 1 time, then i got an error message over and over so i just removed the link


For those who were unable to locate the vendor for my HVAC overlays... ^^^ Scott who just posted (GraphicSTi) is the man to talk to

it will actually only be dry to the touch within 4 hours. i wouldnt touch for a full 24 hours.. it will be cured in 24 hours. <---- easier if you have a DD (as i do )

ill look for some more information on that, or i would suggest stopping in a fabric shop and explaining that you want to dye headliner in your car, someone should know exactly what to use (get a few opinions).

[Bishop]

Sounds good. if i find the time, ill look into the dye, if not, feel free to post what u can find.... and i made the mistake for not letting it sit over night like i shoulda... the dash pieces came out good, but i might yank the A pillars and repaint then let em sit

the only other thing i would mention would be one other option, ive always usd "krylon fusion" on platics as a durable paint (with minimal prep) IF YOU WANT A GLOSSY & SMOOTH SHINE.

as stated, great write up though, looks great, i am jealous

[Bishop]

I used Krylon Fusion to dress up parts of my engine bay..... honestly, i wasnt impressed AT all..... BUT, it is a good solution for those looking for a glossy finish.

[GoodTimes]

Doing this as we speak!

^ envy you im sitting here at work waiting for my shift to be over so i can get my supplies and start my surgery tommorow morning

[Bishop]

Glad to see this is being put to use guys
