interior color change.

[suprarcr89]

as most of you know i am pretty much redoing my interior to all black in my 89 supra(getting rid of the burgandy :icon_mad: ) while im in the process of rebuilding the 7mgte. well me and my friend daniel got quite a bit of it done today here are some pics of it out of the car. the parts turned out beautiful and look like it was always that color. I also dyed the carpet black too it looks great.... I will keep you updated and put pics up soon as all of my interior is done and in the car about 2 to 4 weeks from now.

[oneandgone]

That's looking faaantastic!!! Ken, you have to get that kit we talked about!!! It'll really set off the black!!

[Untouchable7mgte]

WOW! What did you use???

[siman]

Man!

I wish sometimes my interior was the dark shadow grey, but then again, the maroon has grown on me....

but.....Bride seats in red cloth dont really match maroon....ugghhh

[suprarcr89]

WOW! What did you use???


I used dupli color vinyl/fabric interior color flat black. and duplicolor adhesion promotor on plastic parts before spraying them.

we first wet sanded the pieces with fine grit sand paper to get a good bond with the color, then sprayed two coats of adhesion promotor on the plastic parts then sprayed two or more coats of the duplicolor vinyl/fabric flat black, the vinyl parts we just wet sanded and sprayed two or more coats of the flat black and the peices look awesome and i tryed to rub it off and its on there good.... it held great on the plastic parts too since we used adhesion promotor on the plastic parts....

grant -I am going to get that kit as soon as my engine is finished and im on the road rolling....

simann- I just love black on interior..

daniel- yes it will

thanks all

[Idealsupra]

is that the stuff with the green letteringo n a black can? i was looknig at that today as im still experimenting with some color changing stuff...

FYI: for plastic parts the krylon fusion works AWESOME with NO prep... future reference ;)

your stuff looks great though!

[MisterTurbineTwister]

I love the color change.

My friend and I converted the interior of his '85 Toyota RTE pickup to black from brown/tan. We actually used high stretch vinyl (also used on vinyl tops) To cover the door panels with vinyl top adhesive and we sewed the seams around the leather door handles, steering wheel and hand made console using an industrial juki machine and a leather working barb needle.

I'll get some pics up soon. It looks like it wasn't modified and is still holding up after 2 years.

Another thing you can use for high contact areas is flat black aerosol Plasti-Dip. It's mostly used for coating hand tool handles in, but it dries to a semi flat gloss and holds up to a lot of contact traffic. That's what we used for the plastic parts (kick panels, some dash parts, door release handles, etc.)

What was with Toyota not putting black interiors in their vehicles?

burgandy was a big 80s color...hell even nissan put bugandy interiors in their 90+ Z's... at least toyota realized burgandy was dead after 90 lol

[Paradox]

glad you see you actually went through with it! looks great so far..

g'luck with the rest man :)

[PunaMKlll]

looks good!, i wonder how durable the dye is?

[suprarcr89]

the reason i didnt use fusion is that i couldnt get it in flat black. but since i have wet sanded and used aheshion promoter. i tryed scratching it off a few pieces and couldnt get it to come off. plus my car will have no back seat so no worry of people getting in kicking stuff gettin in and out the back seat plus everyone who would ride with me respects the car enough not to kick panels and abuse the interior.... so i suspect it will hold up fine... ill keep you guys posted....

its a black can with white and red writing..... the adhesion promoter is a a marroon can with white writing both dupli-color....

[Untouchable7mgte]

yea ideal i just picked up some of the krylon fusion stuff ill let everyone know how it came out tomorrow

[Untouchable7mgte]

what would you use to dye the carpet or would it be easier to get new ones?

[Untouchable7mgte]

ohh and one more thing, this question is for ideal and suprarcr, did you use a sealer or like a clear coat on those pieces.

[suprarcr89]

i used adhesive promoter before applying the flat black then nothing else.... looks great too....

[alloyguitar]

when i did mine i didn't seal ir or anything like that, and i just dyed/painted my old carpets, because i'm too cheap to but new ones and it looks fine, it's a little hard at first, but it's carpet, who cares?

[Untouchable7mgte]

did it come out sticky at all or does that go away??

[MisterTurbineTwister]

Think of dye as an ink instead of an acrylic or oil base paint. It stains the fabric or carpet strands and rinses free. Almost like a hair dye.

The parts look like they're coming along well. I wouldn't hesitate using a dupli color paint on a well prepped part that doesn't see a lot of traffic, but the reason that we used the spray on plasti-dip is because it is a daily driver and shit happens. Even with the highest respect level.

I'm about the only person that ever rides in the truck with him and we're both bodymen by trade and car freaks at that. We're always aware of our cars, but some areas of the interior will see contact, even if they aren't supposed to. Just plan on it. Sounds like that stuff holds up under abrasion from what you said. I'm sure if you keep an eye on it when you're cleaning and contacting it, you should be fine.

[bobiseverywhere]

Wow Love the Colour Change makes me think i want to try it and rip out my interior as well :S

[Untouchable7mgte]

where do you get all the dupli stuff from???

[suprarcr89]

autozone,advanced,walmart,napa,oriellys

[suprarcr89]

did it come out sticky at all or does that go away??

if a part is sticky something is wrong when i spray after the adhesion promotor it is dry within minutes and is not sticky at all. you have to put several light coats on if you put it on thick it will be tacky....

[Eric_Odie]

how many cans have you gone through so far? i was planning on starting my interior color change this week, and i'm going to purchase the dupli color tomorrow. But yeah how many cans? haha

[polobai]
