   i have fully stripped the rear of my vtr, starting to think that it looks a bit tatty just bare so woundered if i would be able to get a good finish by painting the interior with white hammerite to give it that edge?

   dont want to put a floor down as it is extra weight, want to keep it stripped. i saw someone else had painted the rear in white hammerite but after a long search i couldnt find it to ask them for more pictures

    you dont need to sand it back to bare metal.
    
    just paint it like you would any body part.
    
    use normal car paint.

    hard_corejoeboy yer they do weigh a fair bit along with everything else, ive done a hard_core strip and taken almost everything, no doorcards front or rear, no rear seats, no boot trim, no rear seat mechanisms, no rear seat belts. everything all adds up mate

    I done this the other day.
    
    Just used fine grade sandpaper, and sanded so the polish of the pervious paint was off. (didnt need to sand to bare metal)
    Then sprayed over the top with normal spray paint.
    
    Came out decent enough, havent got pics atm sorry
