Create a 'new' car for less than $150
(ARA)
- Shiny wheels. Flashy paint. Tricked out trim. There's nothing like
the look of a brand new car. But in this economy, not many people have
the money to rationalize buying a new car when their current ride only
has a few cosmetic issues.
If buying a new car is not an option,
it is easy to give your current vehicle that "brand new" look for less
than $150 while customizing your wheels, adding personality with paint,
reviving your car's interior and replacing your undercoat.
"Now
more than ever, people want to be able to fix or improve any cosmetic
issues their car may have without the cost of an expensive body shop,"
says Rust-Oleum brand manager Melissa Grimm. "With the wide array of
auto products available, you can have a car that looks brand new
without the price tag of a brand new car."
Customize your wheels
Want
customized wheels without the custom price tag? It is an easy
do-it-yourself project for a Saturday afternoon. For less than $30, you
can make your existing wheels look brand new with Rust-Oleum High
Performance Wheel spray paint. Try a color like steel to enhance the
color of your current plastic hub caps and aluminum or steel wheels.
Or, use graphite or black to give them the appearance of their
expensive, custom, aftermarket counterparts.
Add personality with paint
Consider
customizing your car with spray paint. You could paint your steering
wheel, dashboard, cup holders or even license plate frames for a
one-of-a-kind textured, metallic look.
Revive the interior
Rain,
snow, dirt and daily wear and tear can wreak havoc on car interiors.
Why not restore the appearance of vinyl, simulated leather and fabrics,
like seats, car door panels, vinyl car tops and floor mats with
Rust-Oleum Fabric and Vinyl spray paint? Bring your interior back to
life by repainting it the same color or try something unexpected like
red, black or blue with a glossy finish.
Don't forget the undercoat
Harsh
weather, salt and other chemicals can lead to damage from rust and
corrosion that will significantly shorten the life of your car, and
cost you a pretty penny to repair. While a professional undercoating
can add years to the life of your vehicle, it can be expensive too. But
it is easy to do the job yourself with Rust-Oleum Professional
Undercoating. The black, rubberized finish creates a protective barrier
between the bottom of your car and the elements that prevent rust and
corrosion.
