Painting ?

I have painted a lot of vacuum formed interiors, both clear and opaque types. If the interior is clear you have a choice as to whether you would paint it on the inside or outside. It is true that interiors that are painted on the inside will look shiney, possibly a coat of non gloss clear would fix that. I actually often paint clear interiors on both sides. I first do details like seat belts, shoulder harnesses, gloves, instrument clusters, steering wheels, fire extinguishers and roll bars in the appropriate colors on the inside. After those come the driver's helmet and driving suit. The last step for the paint on the inside would be some black or possibly silver/gray. I put the final details on the outside, mostly using fine tipped marker pens to do stripes on the driver's suit for example. A black marker can also be used on the outside to touch up mistakes. Since an interior is not subject to a lot of abuse you do not have to be quite as fussy about using paint that is made just for clear plastic.
