hey for all those who want to do their interior black, i have a few pictures of what you can expect. there was someone here that wanted to do their interior black??? well here are some pics. 1 is my car, the dusty one :confused: and the other is a mates old TP. he has since sold it.

i must say, looks awsome! now some questions, what type of paint did u use? how much paint? and was it hard to get all of it apart and out?

ok the paint is a carpet/vinyl paint (is handy how it does both). u can get it from supercheap for bout $17 for a massive can. im pretty sure i used 3 cans so far. though i havent done the rear doors and i need to redo the carpets again. (didn't do it well enough the first time)

it'll tell u this on the can but wen u spray into the carpet, use a brush and brush all the carpet one way, then spray it all again and brush back the other way. repeating this will get the paint right down into the fibres and will give u a better outcome.

the best thing to do is just rip everything out. drivers seat, passenger seat, rear seats and centre console. CLEAN everything thoroughly before u start painting at all (should b easier with everything ripped out anyway). make sure there is no dust on it and dont spray it indoors where dust will settle on the wet paint. if u can take the door trims off thats even better (i was lazy and put newspaper on everything). spray them and leave them in the sun to set hard. (just not near any trees where leaves or birds can ruin your work :confused: ) i didn't take the dash out at all. i just put newspaper over everything i didnt want to get paint on. it worked fine and the dash is finished and looks great.

the window winders are plastic and should b taken off and sprayed with a "plastic primer" then some touch up paint (may also b purchased from supercheap). these are easy to take off, push the door trim away from the base of the winder and there is a little metal clip. take that off and it will slide off.

if u need anything else clarified or answered let me know

Dam I love the look of that black/blue interior on the TP ;) , what a champion effort. Its mine by the way, and I used about 20 cans of colour dye all up to do my entire interior, although I had a bit of trouble with paint getting chipped off so it got a bit anoying having to touch places up all the time. And try not to breathe in too much of those paint fumes, after I'd pretty much done my entire interior I read this statement on the bottom of the can saying 'As tested in the state of california this product is known to cause possible reproductive system problems and birth deffects' :redface: , not exact wording but fairly close, and I breathed so much of those fumes in, not on purpose of course, not only did I get real dizzy but I lost my ability to reproduce...probly a good thing though :roll: .

20 cans. holy $#!&!!. something for me to look forward to :confused:

unlucky bout the reproducing thing. i think you'll find one very unhappy young lady when you get older lol . assuming it did too much anyway
