Interior rebuild: brown to black.

[supraGhost]

when i bought it:

then i put seats in it

the rest of the interior was still terrible so i have been working on that the past few months. is almost done. i only need a few more parts.

and here is where i am now. sorry i didnt have time to clean it all yet, and the camera isnt the greatest.

i still need a armrest cover, shift and ebrake boot, and the trim for above my steering column. and i havnt figured out what to do with the back seats yet.

looks nice!!

what paint brand and color did you go with for the dash and trim?
and what type of seats are those??

i'm interested in doing something similar but from blue to black....i bought SEM graphite interior paint. and i want to get my cloth seats recovered with black leather or buying aftermarket.

its VHT Vinyl dye. i used RIT fabric dye for the carpet (i dont suggest doing this). and the seats are recaro reps. the brand is mrc. they are pretty cheap and very comfortable.

you sprayed the interior with a can...? were did you get the paint...?

 

[supraGhost]

yes. its vht vinyl dye. its a "penetrating paint" and it actually holds really well to plastic as well. i got it from summit racing.

 

[dubsupra209]

o alright thanks i have blue dont really like it thinking of going grey or black......

 

[Supra28]

Damn, interior looks good!

Looks hot! I'll be painting mine black too when I have the time. Quick question - what did you do as far as prepping the trim surfaces before you sprayed the dye on? And did you do anything after (like clear coat or sumthin?)

 

[redxrunner]

wow, looks awesome. Im going to have to be doing this as well soon, the stock grey interior on my 87 im pickin up is rough as hell.

i just cleaned it all with soapy water. no clear. it has a satin finish. its a little shinier than i expected but not bad.

 

[MA70_Powa]

satin huh? cool, because I was at the shop yesterday tryin to decide between satin and gloss finish. You just solved that dilemma

yeah def go with satin. it still looks like real vinyl. if it was much glossier it would look like it was spray painted (which it was lol)

100% improvement over the tan!
I can say that, I had the darker brown/tan in my 90... blech...

The black looks really good, and thanks for the link to the seats :bigthumb:
Guy has a good variety with a lot of great prices!

Looks much better! Those old seats look like they have seen better days
