Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

Specifics on the paint: PPG #902178 - 2003 Ford Car & Truck Interior " Medium Gray Metallic". It's Deltron DIU Interior Basecoat Color that does not require clearcoating.

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

Thanks, and you can get this at a paint shop right

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

Just finished installing my freshly painted door trim inserts! Followed Bart's :machgod: painting directions. They turned out great and really do accent the IUP interior!

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

That looks AWESOME, what paint did you use, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me it was this,

http://www.ppgcarpaint.com/products....=6834&SPCId=43

The PPG Paint code #902178 , I ordered some last week in a 12oz spray can, and I was wondering if this was the same paint that you used. Also, how did you prep the panels before you painted them? I'm going to be doing this as soon as I get my paint, but hopefully I ordered the right stuff :what:

Any info would be greatly appreciated, and also some info on how you prepped the panels!

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

I not sure about that paint, but I think others have used it. I started by washing the panels in warm water and Dawn with bleach dish washing soap,rinse throughly. Next wet sand with 600 grit wet/dry paper. Next rinse with water and let dry. I blew mine dry with compressed air. Next I spayed two coats of plastic primer made by Valspar, sold at Lowes as (American Tradition).Let primer dry for about 2 hours. Next I sprayed three light coats of Dupli-color gray primer sealer. Let dry for 2 hours. At this point you may want to lightly sand with 600 grit but it is not neccessary it just depends on if you want a little texture or smooth finish. I sanded mine. Next I sprayed three light to medium coats of DSFM225 Medium Charcoal Metallic Dupli-color Spray 5oz. can. Let dry overnight 24 hours. Both primer and paint can be purchased at Auto-Zone or most any auto parts store. I did a set about a 8 months ago for a buddy's Cobra and they look as good as the day I painted them! A word of caution!! The tab that holds the panel to the door on the lower back side of the panel is flimsy and may crack when you remove them. Both of mine cracked. I used two part epoxy to reinforce the tab insert. Other than that every thing went fine! Good luck!

Whats an IUP?

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

Interior Upgrade Package

It added silver colored accents plus 4-way headrests.

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

And special silver door lock soldiers, along with (I think) the Bullitt-style pedal covers.

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

Thanks, I was looking at the pictures and my car came with the IUP
I just didnt know what it standed for.

I wouldnt mind painting over it with the same paint of the car.
Im about to paint the supercharger Azure Blue (everything but head unit)

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

If you do go with a different color I would suggest buying OEM plain jane interior trim parts to paint and set your IUP trim parts (center bezel, shifter bezel, and gauge cluster mask) aside as they are. People on here will gladly pay good money for them

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

Thanks for the advice. Thats what im going to do, im pretty sure those parts are not even expensive.

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

Finally located some used IUP parts. Any tricks to removing the radio/AC bezel?

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

i would gladly pay somebody to paint the parts just like in this thread a matching DSG for me :CHEERS:

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

This is definitely going on the To-Do list.

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

looks very good!!!!!!!!

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

looks really great, like it alot i thought bout doing something like that to mine but i just have been buyin other parts, something like that for me is more for show then go, which i like shows, but i like to go fast more, but i like it alot, great job and did it right buy having a painter do it for you, in my other mustang i had before, i tried doin it myself and it didn't work out at all.

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

I know this is an old thread, but I stumbled upon a current source of the silver paint used with the IUP.

2003-04 Mustang Medium Gray Metallic Lacquer Interior Paint

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

I was thinking about doing the same thing this weekend, but how do you get the radio trim off? Is it just clipped in the same way the trim around the shift boot is clipped in? I want to make sure that I dont go hulk on it and break something if there is a special way to get it out

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

Remove the shifter trim first and place your fingers behind the radio trim on the bottom and pull out.

Re: Interior Accents - IUP Paint
 

Awesome, thanks!
