More finishing work continues on the trim pieces.
Ultra-thin coat of pinhole filler:
Blocked down with 180-Grit:
A texture coating and then blocked down again for referencing:
One more time to get it perfectly straight:
Final texture coat, waiting on the color topcoat now:
It is nice to witness all of the shavings and fillings come closer to the end product. For the trim pieces in question, a texturized/wrinkled finish has been added to give the interior a touch of differentiation. This is unlike my previous refinishing direction and the pieces currently in the car, where everything was painted smooth and glossy.
This time, I’m going for a more sedated and interior-like look.
Sup Eric its been a while I see you’ve updated your site…..again lol!

Glad you checked back in Wendell. And yep, I abandoned the idea of forums permanently and decided to bring back the blog and overhaul it at the same time.
I actually am going to be selling my glossy interior pieces. If you’re interested, shoot me an email through here or send me a PM on RX7Club :)
Message sent! :)

I did a similar thing to my interior bits and used the wrinkle coating by VHT. I was wondering what you used as I like the finish of yours a little bit better.
