Hey

Im looking to do a color theme in my coupe. I want the entire interior to be white with blue accents... seats, dash, ceiling, everything. Can anyone give me advice on how to go about doing this so that i dont get an ugly *** look to it? i want to do it all myself(except for the seats ofcourse)

so any ideas you have please shoot over my way.

thanks alot

 

take out ur interior and start degreasing it. Then use a good vinyl dye for any vinyl parts in the car. For the plastics spray some non-metal CT primer, then any color paint and then clear coat, take your time. For the carpet u can replace it or try and dye it. The ceiling would be tricky but u have to remove it and choose a material that can stretch nicely and just replace the hold material with the new stuff.

 

the trim pieces are already painted, im more concerned about the main dash piece itself...
where can i get the materials for the main dash and what would i look for?

ps... thanks for the advice

 

is the main dash piece vinyl? if so go to www.g2usa.com and order some vinyl dye and dye the sucker. I would suggest either taking out most of ur interior and taping EVERYTHING off or taking out the actual dash.

 

thanks man, much appreciated

 

Can I suggest actually taking your dash out? It takes quite a while (at least an hour) unless you know what your doing of course :P

Reason is I painted the dash in my old car, without taking it out and sooo many things went wrong.
First of all it took me so long to tape newspaper on to everything like the wheel, windows, windshield, ect...
Second of all, I realized that paint can find it's way through newspaper and I got paint all of my windshield and ****, it was pretty ugly.

Anyways, if you got time to do it I would definately suggest just taking out the dash. If your only going to do it once, I would suggest just doing it right the first time!

 

ya im planning on taking out the dash, the vinyl dye that you suggest, how much would you guess i would need to get the dash looking solid and also would you suggest looking for a white carpet or is there some form of dye for this i could use aswell?? im getting my seats wrapped in white leather but the only thing left is the carpet and i dont really think theres much in the line of white auto carpet out there...

thanks for the help guys, when i get it all finnished i will take it out to a meet and see what everyone thinks

 

I dont think white carpet would be that good in regards to dirt and all that. It would get pretty ditry very easily and noticable as well.

 

well, i will have floor mats and there wont be dirt in my car, trust me, no dirty ppl get into my car
lol
i understand where your comming from but i will cross that bridge when i get to it

thanks, thats awesome

im just waiting for a reply from them

 

another option would be to wrap everything in vinyl, will with stand better then paint or dye, i painte/dyed mine, and the paint is chipping in parts and is hard to wash when it gets dirty

 

i know somewhere you can get the seats done for cheap. E-mail me for pics if your interested. cbishun@rogers.com
