Default how do i make my interior black

i drive a 95 honda accord lx, the interior of my car is tan, i have searched and searched and im 99.9% sure they do not make black interior for the 5th gen accord, the closest i found was bark blue and gray. what should i do besides going to autozone and getting the spay and doing it my self which i will not do. also what can i do about my seats racing seats are a little too expensive to me so is there seats from another car like a prelude that would fit in my car or how can i get black seats. thank you very much

You are correct, Honda offered no black interiors for the entire 5th Gen production line. It was usually Grey, Blue, Ivory or Jade.

You have really one professional option.
Have the Seats, Door Panel Inserts and Rear Window Tray panels re-upholstered. You will have to spray dye on the corresponding exposed vinyl pieces (door panels, Dash cover and console) and the headliner.

Also i think i read on here that the acura Cl of the same year has the same interior, well not the same but it all supposedly fits in the accord perfectly...correct me if im wrong. Im not sure if they acura cl's of that year had a black interior but it might be an option

go out and buy some SEM Landau Black, which is semi-gloss and has the same texture and look of oem black interior. My car has sat outside in 100+ degree weather countless times with no signs of chipping, cracking, fading, stickiness, etc.

ive done my a/b pillar lining, door panels, rear interior panels and it works great. check out my build thread for pics

my interior on my 95 accord is black. laid the carpet myself, pulled the dash and dyed it, and re-did all the door panel and center consol. must say it is a much better improvement when tryin to make your car sportier. i also shaved door handles, trunk, antena, mugen front lip, carbon fiber hood & grill, with halo projector one piece headlights and M3 side skirts. finish it off with a H22 tuned with a chipped P28 runnin hondata. she is the love of my life lol
