What do you guys think is the best thing to do, I have maroon door panels and a crap brown dash. I want to change it all to a gray color. What is the best way to do this. In these pictures I don't have the new door panels on yet..

Vinyl interior paint, if you cant find all replacement panels of the same color....and new carpeting. Good luck!

 

i love those prelude seats i should have gotten those then my un comfy del sols

 

Since they don't make an OEM grey color I guess u'll have to paint it.

What's up with the big *** tach on an auto?

The main resone for the tach. was I got it really cheap, and this way I can tell if the auto is slipping. And also I like the look. Why do they put them in a LX atuo? Because its still nice to see how you engine RPM's are doing.

 

Has any body change there interior color?

to paint your interior just make sure you use bulldog adhesive promoter and the interior paint of your choice... i would go wid dupoint...

 

do i spy a rag-top 4g4d?
x5 (tach)

 

Ok guys, less hating on the tach and rag top and more tech talk.

 

Yep 35" x 40"

 

the rag top is pimp for a daily cruiser, Definetely not for a track car or something, you probably lost to much rigidety by doing that.

 

Nope I got more a ridge roof that is the main resone why I put it in because the previose owner messed up the roof and it was really flimsy. And it is all about the look. Its better to look good slow then look like **** going fast. LOL

 

haha that roof is pimp.

 

dude I have all o.g grey door panels & even have the gray back seat even have the 90 - 91 rear bumper I see you have the 88-89 pm me
even have the carpet

 

Duplicolor Vinyl works great on the softer stuff like the door panels, roof skin, sun visors, etc. You can even use it on the small patches of cloth/carpet on the doors (i think it's softer now then what it was without the paint). Just make sure you keep a good distance while painting it, or you'll get blotches of flat color (like any spray balm...)



I used Krylon Fusion for the harder pieces...but, that stuff does chip in the well used areas.

Preperation is the key to success for both of these paints...sand with a high grit sand paper, clean with alcohol. If you want to go one step further, you could even use a plastic adhesion promoter...but Krylon Fusion is made for plastic, so you don't necessarily need it.

Goodluck!

 

buhahhaah!!! i love the ragtop

for being different. The two tone paint it also cool.

for haters.

 

Thanks guys for all the input. clantz86 thanks for the pictures. Looks like your came out great.

 

I did the same thing as clantz86 in my CRX DX. It had the pale blue interior and I used Krylon fusion for all the hard plastic interior pieces and a vinyl paint (forgot the name) for the door panels. All the plastic pieces were painted black, and the door panels are light grey and black. I will try to get some pics tomorrow.

 

That would be cool try to get up some pictures. Thanks

 

they paint interior peices on Unique Whips all the time! lol...

 

do you have to sand it down...and if so what exactly type grit ...i have a have 4dr with dull light blue interior and i want to make it grey and black

 

I would think you would want at least 1500 grit atleast. But I have heard that steel wool works good, because the wool won't sand off the texture of the panels.
