(update) got the rear charcoal covers from allgonoshow, spent like 3-4 hours reupholstering the seats, turns out its probably cheaper than dye, and im actually going to do black leather 05-06 acura rsx front seats, im thinking they should match pretty well with the rears, last thing i need is front charcoal seatbelts and rear center belt and another couple yards of suede(ran out of it, need more for headliner) and some black floor mats( the carpet dye is fading, but if i put floor mats down it should be fine) red LEDs and its done!
Tired of my dirty smoked in tan interior, hate the color anyways, my car is coming out of the paint booth next week so why not make the inside fresh as well?
this will probably be a diy soon.
was originally going to trade my spare quartz leather interior for charcoal(black) but couldnt schedule the swap well and the charcoal was in rough shape, so now im looking at painting the interior pieces satin black and fixing & dying the leather seats. also doing red sued inserts an trim. ill update with pics as progress is made, just started on rear panels.
parts:
-6 cans of satin black krylon paint for plastic(might need more, not sure)
-degreaser/acetone/other cleaners to clean pieces thoroughly
-sand paper if needed(im only sanding damaged spots, dont wanna ruin texture)
-2 cans of satin black vinyl/fabric paint for lower dash and 1/2 of the front door panels
-about 2-3 yards of fabric/suede/leather for wrapping trim/inserts
-3m spray adhesive
-not sure how to get headliner fabric yet lol
-2 cans vinyl/fabric paint for carpet(im doing red or black)
-brush for carpet
-painters tape
-dye kit for leather seats in graphite black
-repair kit for leather seats(purchasing leather supplies from leatherworldtech.com
-can of satin clear coat(do i need this on the parts? i bought some to test out, might be good to protect the paint)
-gloves
quantities will probably increase, im gonna guess about 200 to do all this.
