So i want a black interior and was feeling very pro-active today so i took everything out of my car started cleaning/scuffing it and am using Duplicolor vinyl & fabric coating. and Krylon fusion plastic paint to get everything nice and shiny in black... let me know what ya think so far.
here is beforei took anything out
Image
started with the doors and painted flat black under the gloss for coat consistency.

then i took out the panels and dash followed lastly by carpet

i got carried away in the prep and painting and forgot to take pictures of my process but i will take some when i work on it tomorrow.

should have kept it true by rolling with the brown interior. lol...it's your car. I used to have a civic with beige interior. hated it from the beginning but got used to it. looking good so far. hope the paint won't crack and peel or you'll have brown and black interior.

i think it looks a a lot better man good job. i would attempt exactly the same if i got stuck with a s*** interior. Nice work so far youll have to keep us updated on how well the vinyl paint holds up. I wish i lived closer to zach lol i cant even pay for some help with my heap.

I just never work on it cause i dont know wth is wrong with it and its like a 20 min drive from my house. Hopefully buying a fender soon and then i might be able to tow it to a friend for some help as he is too lazy to come out. I need to be fed the oats of knowledge

i am REALLY sorry and sad to see the brown go.. :tisk: .. but like you said too hard to find for too much. plus the ding bat that had the car first kinda picked this for me by half-rectally trying to do it. :facepalm:
so i must.

yeah man zach and jarrett really are life savers but thats how these cars work they make you have to call a friend. im sad yours wont run. how far away are you?? if close enough man i bet we could manage a super good day trip.
