I just read this whole tread. Nice job! I have started body work on my Fiero, after three failed trials with body shops. I have a guy that is a bike builder and he is showing me, how to do the body work on my car.

Now all you need is this headliner:
This is my re-do of a headliner. I left the impression of the fiero emblem in the center of the headliner.
This took several trys to get right but I was finally satisfied with the results.
This is what it now looks like:

Looks good. Just to revisit what was said recently. Diff paint manufacturers recommend diff drying times before clear. Some (like brands i use) clear is applied right over base like another coat of paint waiting only to tack. Others allow up to 24 hours. Ive never seen any brand (except laquer) that would let you wait longer than 24 hours to clear without having to rescuff and mist coat the base color back on. You really NEVER sand basecoats before clearing...especially silvers and golds due to the streaks sanding makes in it. Once you clear over the streaks, theryre there forever. Proper way to do what your doing would be to paint all the colors and clear in the same day (what I ususally do, and a longggg day). Otherwise you put one coat of clear over each color as you finish it. If you use PPG products, they even make a special clear for doing just that for custom paint work. Then when you are done with all the base colors, you can scuff all of it lightly and put on all the clear you want in a couple of days without any streaking on the whole thing. I have a feeling you will see what I mean by the streaking in the silvers after you finish clearing and buffing it out. It will look like light and dark lines in the directions you sanded the metallic particles. [This message has been edited by rogergarrison (edited 09-13-2009).]
