Default 92 CX hatch gutted, wanting to paint grey interior suggustions on paint?

The topic pretty much says it all, I am wanting to paint the dash along with the plastic pieces and have them look like the black interior that the stock hatches have.

I understand the vynil paint and the plastic paint were 2 different things and patience is key.

ding me on aim if you wanna chat and exchange ideas likwidchz on aim.

Ive heard good things about the krylon fusion paint, along with some SEM plastic paint..

If anyone has done this "probably plenty of people" post up some pictures or gimme a buzz on aim

If you want it black, and want it to stay black forever, I would say search some junkyards, the honda marketplace, or e-bay for interrior pieces that were origonally black. Thats just my opinion though. I have seen some painted interriors in black that have lasted a while.

There are 5th gen's that came with black interior.

For the vinyl use vinyl dye, for the hard plastic, use plastic paint in multiple light coats until you get what you want.

thanks for the tips.

I was thinking that the Black really isnt RARE by any means so if it turns to **** over time i can always replace it

I painted pieces from my EG Grey to Black and it looks pretty decent still. I just wiped it down with degreaser then used a vinyl paint from dupli-color with multiple coats. Worked for me but it is a fair amount of work so if you've got the money save yourself the hassle. If you have got more time then money it doesn't look bad just don't rush it!
