i was thinking about dying my pillars and headliner black?

anyone else done this to an EG?

pics would be great

 

i dyed my rear speaker covers and a few other grey things in the car, sry i dont have any pics, but they look just like an oem piece

 

i already have dyed some of my blue interior pieces black to finish it, and i have half a can left

i think it would be the hottness all black interior

 

I'm in the middle of doing this as well. Do you have any pictures of what you've dyed.

 

nope

but i used duplicolor vinyl dye, the flat black

and its almost a perfect match for the OEM color

 

i did it like 3 years ago. i too was tired of the honda black/gray two tone. i used rattle can flat black. its all in the prep work on how long it will last and how good it will look.

 

well did you use spray paint? because dye is much different, it doesnt coat the surface it more or less sinks into the material permanently changing the color...

 

post pics

im wondering the same thing? this guy asks about dying and you guys say to use spray paint dye? LMAO!

i searched dying carpet once and these lamers told him to use dupli color spray paint for it. i mean, thats gotta be one of the stupidest ****** suggestions ever.

 

I am sanding mine smooth and painting mine.
Have done it before and the finish was just as goud as the paint on the outside of the car.

 

so you sanded the texture off your pillar pieces and headliner?

 

Now how in the hell would you sand the texture off of the headliner? I am going to use black suede for the headliner.

I did the pillars though.....That texture is nothing special by anymeans.

The smooth painted look is sleek and very easy to keep clean..

 

Might have to go over it a few times, and make sure u go slow, rush it and u'll *** it up. Iv'e seen my mates car with a bad finish, looks pov ***! even on smaller trims, NEVER RUSH WITH DYE!!!

 

interesting, ill be going through the same in the near future. id love to see some pics.

im not sure, but from peoples responses to this topic, dying seems to be the more popular option. Im yet to see pics of painted or dyed EG interior in black. Pics of both so people could compare would be really good. Surely people have done this and could share pics

 

bump for pics
And what kind of dye did you use

 

i want pics too, that was the whole reason for the start of the thread.

 

once you do it, you will realize all black was a mistake.

I did it years ago to my first car because there were some cigarette smoke stains from the last owner. It looked cool for about a week, then it feels like your sitting in a very small box.

 

can someone post pics on their work. i've always wondered about the quality of doing this. i have something i want to paint but not sure how its going to turn out.

 

All black interiors are cool....but keep the roof/headliner a much lighter color.

Trust me, the car will feel much better to be in. Feng Shui applies in cars too.

yeah but how often do you honesly look up at the headliner...i've looked at mine maybe 5 times in the last year

I have black interior on my coupe, and I loved it. The Cx has blue, and I just wanna get the blue, to black.

But I don't look at it too much.

Back to my orignal question, who knows where you can get the kit?

you dont have to look up, the absense of light/space makes the cabin of the car feel smaller.

Go paint all your walls and ceiling of your room black, and let us know if it feels any smaller. Then paint just the ceiling white again, it will make the room significantly brighter.

 

I like the feel of a smaller interior. I would like to get rid of the light grey dark grey two tone interior and just go all dark grey. Can it be done? DO they make dye to match OEM dark grey? Yes, please post pics of all black interior as well!!

 

i would like to see this vinyl dye too

i want black interior
