s13 Interior restoration

[johntom240]

soo being a fan of all black interiors, i decided to go ahead and get spray dye, for the carpet,headliner and back seats.
I also wanted a quite-er cabin and just take that interior apart cus it was gross, i found a nyc bridge token circa.70's
so here it is with the dashboard support removed and door panel off...by the way pics of dyed carpet and everything will be upsoon

wow thats a lot of work! keeping it an autotragic?

[murderrsirenss]

IF you get ritz dye from walmart, put it in a spray bottle with REALLY hot water and shake it up, it dyes better than the spray s*** you can get at autozone and stuff.

Plans for the trunk?

[NismoRTuneS13]

good luck! i plan on painting my whole stripped interior white, thats going to be a pain

[johntom240]

well, the paint was all there,i left all the stock sound deadning so i didnt go throught the whole dry ice and repaint process,just cleaned it up with prep sol. yea im pricing out tanny swap but i just spent money on kyb agx all around eichback lowering springs and tien camber plates, as for the trunk, its getting the same treatment just with cheaper sound deadning.thanks for the tip, but the paint has been already bought,thnks tho. more pics soon of the interior complete and all black

Whats the deadening called? And how much/roll? Big difference in the cabin noise? I'm looking into doing this myself.

appreciate the love man, i put an ungodly amount of time (and $) into my interior. floormats are custom aftermarket. i had them done by an upholstery shop using my old oem ones as a template. they used black plush material, same s*** teddy bears are made out of. no joke. and then i had them custom embroider the "240sx" logo in. if anyone is interested i can still get them. a friend of my dad's made mine for me.

[SoCal-S13]

heres some more pics, dont mean to thread jack just showin ppl they dont have to spend a s*** of money or find oem black panels to get a good look.


pics of the dash right after i sprayed it. can you tell it used to be brown? didnt think so









right after installation





i dunno if anyone's interested but i got pretty good at wrapping s*** in suede. lmk if interested. heres my glove box.

yup

[johntom240]

soo how much did it cost for those teddy bear floor mats? I have the original they need to be re-clothed. also i removed tht tweed crap on my door panels,my drivers side panel has a nice tear from the previous owner, black duct tape does the job, but i wanna a new 1 for like 20-30 bucks the junkyard i know with a s13 and s14 they treat those parts like gold cus obv knows its hard2find. the trunk is getting rubberized undercoating and tailight sealent. no more talk pics soon.

the carpet was done with spray die, and the backseat support was de-rusted and painted with rustoleum.

i can get you those mats for about $150 i think. it may have been cheaper, but i know i didnt pay more than 150. id have to ask him the price. lmk if you are interested and ill hit him up.

and i hope you dont have any white shoes cuz that spray dye will stick to them like flies on s***. get those mats asap/

very nice! how well does that dye stand up to water, dirt, wear, ect. ? looks great though!

[badbob2121]

restoration looks great so far

i have dyed carpet as well, and the dye carpet holds up, but will slightly fade out over time, either way floor mats are a good idea to reduce the fading, but i have to point out that my dye has or never will stick to my shoes...or anything actually.... but that might depend on how cheap your dye is...

[SoCal-S13]

.... but that might depend on how cheap your dye is...

true that. i used some ghetto a** dye, jacked up my all white air force 1's. never again.

[S13 to S4]

OP, enable your PM's. I'd like to talk to you about some suede....

[sd23221]

Interior looks great, I'm getting ready to attempt something similar myself soon. Can you tell me what Dyes and paints you used? Don't want to use Dupicolor from autozone and get my feelings hurt when it rubs off.
Thanks!

[PANDAemic]

OH EM GEE!! I need to do this soon! What dye do you recommend to paint your dash and how many cans would you need to paint the dash and center console?

Have you guys seen people doing other colors like white or anything? Does it work the same way or would you recommend something else?

Beats looking for black panels, might as well get brown paint them.
