Drcided to fix up my interior today....

[Bruce Leroy]

WARNING!!!! THis is a budget project for my daily.... I'm just trying to clean it up a little...

I'm replacing my evaporator so i figured why not fix the crappy tan interior too.

So i got to work

I let it soak for an hour and a half, moving it around every 30 min or so

End result... still wet

More than likely i will soak it again tomorrow depending on what it looks like when it dries...


Next up is the interior panels....

I decided to just spray them with some duplicolor flat black vinyl dye...

I cleaned the panels with soap and water, then wiped them down with some rubbing alcohol. Sprayed some adhesion promoter, and then the black

dash and center console first

Thats it for today.... I'll post more updated tomorrow

[X-Runner]

Carpet looks.... purple?

[BKgen®]

do you think it'll rub off on your shoes at all or anything? i would think that carpet would have to be absolutely freakin immaculately clean for that dye to stick 100%.

looking forward to seeing it installed.

I got floor mats so I dont see it being to big an issue.

It will rub off, at some point. I died the carpet in my Civic, if you use floor mats it will be fine though.

[dabuilding]

not a bad idea but u know they make spray paint at advanced for carpet that would work too i used it on my old truck

[VQ35 Star]

good work, its coming along nicely for a budget job. nice use of your money

[1CleanEg]

i really wanna see how this turns out. i hate my tan interior.

[dkjohnson04]

i think it looks pretty damn good for a BUDGET PROJECT!!!

[b18hb]

i would love a tan interior, black gets so hot during the summer.

[Bruce Leroy]

[Bruce Leroy]

Next week I'm gonna do the door panels, the rear panels, and my droopy headliner...... Then figure out what the hell to do with my seats.

[Black4DrEK]

nice man.. we did the same thing to my boys Four door eg... Tan to black.... Props

[Slomaro Z28]

Your dash looks really good

[FasTech]

I think it turned out damn good! I seen some look alright, but not this good.. Props to you

[Nittanys1]

nice job on doing it yourself! Didn't turn out too bad! cant wait to see some more progress pics!

[Mr. Clean]

looks good from here... but be honest... do the pics show what it really looks like?

im not being a ****, im just wondering. sometimes pics will hide stuff.

def. kudos for doing it all for under $50, but just be careful not to whack any of that stuff cause with an under color like tan, it will show reaaaallllly bad.

def. looks good in the pics though.

[G.C]

looks good. ready for the roastage? black interior=microwave for car.

[4uh8ers]

Very nice. Looks good!

[404 THE DC4]

[OTG Signs]

I'd rather do it the real way, but I can understand trying to save money.

[J-ROCK]

looks really good man!

[DecoyOctopus]

i hope that vynil paint on the dash sticks. but nice project mayn

[k20siboii]

looks pretty good man

[Drummerboy]

ive been riding around with Tan seats in an all black interior for a while. I thought about leather covers, but i cant find any cheap ones. so im just buying bolstered black seats, then harnesses.

oh and btw, i did a change from tan to black.

[Tommy_T]

damn, that turned out good. much better.

[RL...]

looks good, I really hate my tan interior as well. Would the carpet dye really rub off? is there a more permenant super black dye out there?
