Well after being lazy for a long time and now that my court case is over, i can start modding again...so today i did a few things...
My dirty Engine... I added white wire loom
Also i started to paint my interior, i start with my headliner...i used Dupli color: Fabric and Vinyl coloring.
Stock
Now this was my first painting project and i think i did pretty good for not doing this before, but let me know if u guy notice anything...i used 2 cans on it and im going to use a 3rd can to even it out, also its not 100% done...
Sorry if the pics suck, i took them in a hurry but enjoy guys...
Did that fabric coloring make yer headliner crusty? The reason i ask is cuz i wanna dye my rear seat black, but i dont want it to feel crusty or like its painted......
i dont know, i just did it today...so i wont know til its completely done, im doing another can to make it as black as i can...but ive heard that dupli is good, so it should do ok, i think you should just recover ur back seat instead of painting it...might cost more, but it will look better and feel better too...
dont forget to do the edges like me and opeth did
of i got the edges moose, lol...i even oversprayed the other side of it to make sure i got it all...i cant wait to install it next weekend...

when someone posted about this a few weeks ago, i dyed my extra rear seat that i had with the duplicolor stuff and it made it crusty. I used two cans just on the back part and it still wasn't even. The stuff that you have to mix up may work a little better tho.
Also, the headlinder is a softer and less rigid fabric so i think it should be fine.
Was that a fabric headliner or was it vinyl? cause i want to get my headliner white but it is cloth so i would have to rewrap it right?
i used dupli color fabric/vinyl spray and it works, wut did u use on ur interior? oh my headliner is fabric, and i used 2 can already and im using a 3rd to even it out
OK got some more work done today....so enjoy

i guess no one cares!!!!!
hey man..that's hot...thanks for postin the pics...I was gonna do mine black now I know how' it's gonna look...I just painted my dash today...its' that dupli color...loooks good man
Hey man, I used the same on my dash and it came out flawless. I've been debating doing the headliner in vinyl or using the duplicolor method. So did it come out crusty or not? I"m very good with wrapping things, but if it looks pretty good, it will save me some time.

no actually the dupli came out super nice....it takes about 3 cans to get it nice and black, and im not sanding my interior, i want that OE look...but yeah im going to be doing my dash soon so hopefully this thread will stay alive so i can keep posting in it and thanks for the comments guys...keep em coming
ok heres some more pics of wut i got done... well i dont know the names of the pieces heres the pics...
and heres everything i did this weekend and will be installed next weekend, so hopefully my thread will stay alive... so enjoy and comment and flames welcomed
sorry this pic is a lil blurry...
This thread is makin me want to do my car. I want more black components in my car. At least a black headliner and black trim pieces.
then do it man...its easy, just make sure you clean the parts before you paint them...a lil soap and water and make sure u dry it off really good...good luck and im glad my thread is inspiring you
Quiklilcav: no i didn;t want the sanded look...and no to the adhesion promoter, i cleaned the sh*t out of the pieces, but this is a trial and error run, i dont particulary care if something happens to the plastic parts, but i did use a base coat on the black parts and plus Krylon fusion needs no sanding or primer, so hopefully everything will work out...
I just finished my seats with the dupli method. Yeah they felt like sand paper, but all you do is take a bottle of Fabic softner and sparay it on, All better then.

Awesome, but im just going to buy seats instead of just dyeing them
Well, I guess if you have the funds then go for it. I decided not to, Because i gotta get my Dash recovered, And i have $1500 a month rent in 2 weeks.

hes not saying sand it smooth man... hes saying use a light grit and scuff it up a little to make the paint adhear better... Paint like krylon fusin is the only paint that "says" it doesnt need prep work but even for that when i did my red interior i atleast sanded. Good luck, hope you dont have any problems.... It may not peal but it will deffinatly scratch.
