    I thought about painting my interior, but decided to spend the money and do an interior swap. It's actually nice swapping out an old interior and putting new pieces it in makes you feel like the car is newer. I do not think this will look good in the long run for you.

    I would agree with you had I spent $3-$4 a can for spray paint. However I spent $12.00 a can on spray dye. the SEM "paint" is supposed to change the color of the surface of what you are "painting". The look so far is fantastic and it still feels oem. I did a civic about 8 years ago with a standard rattle can and it turned out good but felt sticky when it would heat up in the car. The SEM is not supposed to do that.

    On another note I got the steering wheel with airbag put back in the car and took the car around the block to confirm it still works. I will post more pictures soon.

    This is nothing new. Its been around for some time now.



    Honestly, I would never paint my interior. Just, not the same as having the actually factory colored trim. But, do your thing I guess. It doesn't look bad if its done right but I give it 6 months tops before it starts chipping in certain area's.

    I would again agree IF I had used $3-$4 a can spray paint. However I used a spray DYE not paint. Anyway I would put $100.00 on a bet that it lasts more than 6 months. Based on the information I got in the SEM products I would guess it will last as long as I own the car as long as I properly prep the surface.

    You still have to be careful. My old del Sol had some of the gray interior pieces dyed with the exact same stuff about 6 months before I bought it. It had chipped a little around the edges, and the formerly grey vinyl under the dye was darker as a result of the dye absorbing into it, but the top coat still chipped at the corners and edges. It was definitely a vast improvement over the cheap-o spray paint, but just keep in mind that it's not a factory vinyl covering, so be gentle with it.

    Nice work, though.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.
