Its real hard to find the EG6 rear conversion with the black panels. All i keep finding is the all grey panels in good condition too and complete anyone ever painted the panels black has it come out good I ather take it to a good body shop that could painted black for me but would it look good?

Are you talking about the black interior panels for the hatch, that go around the sides where the rear speakers mount?

I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for but I know a guy had some on KCSR.org if that is what you are needing. He might ship them if he still has them. He had a bunch of the black interior stuff.

 

no i asked if anyone ever has painted the grey ones to black since the black set is hard to find the panels everything paint it black from grey would it look any good

 

yes i just finished painting all my interior panels black including the doors and dash. I used a green scuff pad to rough up the surface of the panels needing paint then cleaned them all with acetone and then used SEM coat satin black to paint all the panels.

They came out awesome and look factory .

here are pics:

^^^^^you do realize all the pillar trim and headliner isnt black on a black interior right? thats gonna be hot as **** in the summertime.

 

yeah, black civic interior has white pillars/roof.

but i doubt you care

hope that stuff doesn't scratch off too easy.

 

yea its VERY obvious i did not care about making it stock looking, i wanted a ALL black interior, simple as that i HATE the way honda has light grey headliners and upper trim panels in every civic, its idiotic lol.

As far as hot in the summer, how would black on the ROOF make its any hotter then dark blue in the rest of the car (which is now black)? besides tinted windows will fix that issues no problem, but i am not worried about that the car is a track/weekend racer, I have a daily driver.

Did you just paint those, or have they been done for a while. I'm curious as to how well they hold up.

 

been done for about a month or so, i am a car audio installer and we do ALOT of custom interiors and fiberglass work so i use the SEM brand of dye at work almost everyday. How well it last and takes abuse depends on how many coats of paint you lay and prep work, scuffing the surface and making sure its clean when painting will help ensure the paint stays around for a while
