Blacked out the interior today.

And i did it with the dash still in the car. Just took off all the thing i could and used folders to get in all the cracks and taped off the rest i will do a 2nd coat tomorrow try and dull it a lil bit to, then next week i will do the head liner and the back then after that the seats and floor and when that is all done i will trim it out with a 2nd color maybe red but idk yet . What yall think?

It will be painfully hot in there this summer, I would think. Door panels look good, not sure I like the dash all-black

I watched a guy paint the dash of his Focus once I know, I know, but anyway he was high as a kite when he got done.

I'm hoping spray dye was used?

 

[FROADER]

It's...glossy. How is the glare?

From what I gather it takes a lot of sanding, and a special primer, to make it permanent. My 99 Limited panels are sun damaged due to the windows being out(wrecked, long time to sell). I just discovered some brand new 95-98 Limited door panels(three). I'm likely going to buy a pair of front seats from Summit that are black/gray. I don't know if the color contrast will be too much.

I seen some kinda of primer and paint combo that I may one day use i just didn't want to take my dash out to do it.

[mr.p]

How are the seats, I've been looking at a set of "would be" Recaros that come in black, gray or beige. Summit has them for just over $200 each(page 300), I'd love for someone else to try them first, hint. Regards,

I didnt like the all grey color either

 

[redneck21]

^^I was going to go with a 3 color set up just like urs but the gray was sun damaged in spots and stained in others. So for me if i was going to paint it all i might as well do black. what kinda of red did you use?

 

[1996explorerxlt]

Duplicolor, same as the body color.

 

[redneck21]

Did you use the flat black on the airbag cover or dark gray.

 

[1996explorerxlt]

VHT Vinyl Dye SP-942, Summit Racing has it, I got mine locally though.
