I couldn't find a forum this exactly fits into. I figure it goes best with insulation because it is a question or how much of the interior I want to take apart to do the job properly.
I have a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan that I will be picking up tomorrow. I want to start my build by painting the interior, pretty much everything below the windows and in between the windows in the back. That is all beige, which is definitely not my color. The front is a dark grey and beige. I intend to keep the dark grey and only paint the beige. I have researched it and found out how to clean and prepare the plastic. It is definitely recommended to remove the plastic pieces before painting. I definitely want to do that in the front because I don't want to harm the nice dark grey dashboard. I plan on taking apart and painting everything below the dashboard red. I may use vinyl coating on the front window frame so I don't have to take it apart or risk damaging the dashboard with paint splatter.
But I am wondering if it is worth it in the back. I might just tape the windows off well and go for it after I thoroughly wash and prime all the surfaces. Paint can be scraped off windows and I plan on pulling up the carpet anyways. I don't have to worry about the back seats since they will be removed immediately. Anyone have experience with this or tips?
Pictures taken by the dealer are attached for reference. The back will be painted a light aqua, front will be dark grey and red. I plan on making breezy white curtains as well as reflectix blackout curtains. Front seats will be recovered in red velvet. Ceiling will be covered in patterned fabric. I have another photo of color scheme attached. Let me know what you think!
