please do not paint your interior, you will regret it later. trust us on this, many years and mistakes later we are wise to this crap.

put the can down.

 

Stupid comment...........


As far as painting interior pieces goes, i highly recommend that you don't do it.......
But, if you have your heart set on it, then just make sure you clean and prime the pieces real good before you spray anything. Any decent enamel paint should work fine. Just be sure that you are not going to change your mind after a while. You will pretty much be ruining them for good, and the parts are not cheap from Honda.......

dont do it

 

Please don't do it... i did it once and I REALLY regretted it later!!! Ended up reverting back to stock afterwards!!!

 

the best way to do it only requires two items

1 - hammer
2 - sandpaper

1st take the hammer and hit YOURSELF in the head , 2nd throw the sandpaper away you dont wanna paint your **** all up

 

I definitely agree on NOT painting it. Trust me, for some reason I decided my door panels might look better in another color. Well they didn't and now i wish I would never have picked up the can.

 

Yes please don't paint it. What would be nice is make the cloth door panels leather...that might be nice...have to see it....neone does this setup? Post some pics...be nice to see how it looks....

 

black cloth interior with roll cage , four/five point harnesses, and some corbeau or sparco seats, black of course, thats the way to go.

 

I did this to my CRX a long while back....ended up really regreting it. Got my civic and like it just howit is

 

I agree with not painting, but you can also buy vinyl dye, it supposedly doesnt ever come off.
I wouldnt do it though, but who am I.

 

go to a junkyard and yank out the plastic parts you want to spray...at least youll have a stock set avail after the painted parts starts to fade and chip away..and at least there you get to brake there parts and not yours...

*i remember back in 97 my cousin was spraying his dash cover but broke it when trying to remove it...he didnt know about the screw behind the hazard button..*

I was thinkin about doing this with my car cause it has some ugly gray parts on the inside of the car. But, to replace to piece I don't like, its about $70 and I can get it in black, so I think I'll cope with the gray until I can afford the new trim. My friend painted parts of his 2k SI blue on the inside to match, and he regretted it later...
