black interior DIY
 

since its hard to find black interior and people want a arm and leg for little peices i decided to go the cheap way and dye my maroon interior plastics black and my carpet grey. this is the start ill keep updating the more i dye but so far it looks good

What product are you using?

its covering good on the plastics but the carpet is gonna need a few coats

Interesting thread. I wonder how well the dyed black hard plastic pieces would color match the existing Mazda black plastic bits? In your case this probably doesn't matter since you're re-coloring the entire interior, but if one was to start with a mostly black interior and could only find parts in other colors to complete it, it would be nice to only have to dye the parts that didn't match the original black.

i dont think it would matchbut but they did have a flat black dye u could spray a coat of gloss then a coat flat then it might come close

got some mor interior stipped

Yes rocking the two post steering wheel.

I would love to have a garage to give my FC this much TLC.

its just an apartment complex garage i got the car in one garage and a empty garage next to it to work in but i work here at the apartments so ima move the interior into a apartment and paint in there were its warm

so the plastic is dyeing good but the carpet is not guess ill try and find some carpet ,door panels ,head liner

its not origanal but better that maroon

not too bad I personally didnt have much luck with the paint I starts pealing off after a while. I have some interior dye that im waiting to use.

it all depends on how much prep work you do and the temp of were your spraying

My paint is fine after 2 years. I cleaned with dish soap, lightly sanded for better adhesion, rinsed with rubbing alcohol, and then sprayed with Krylon plastic spray.

not to bad i might have to do that

that's what I used on my old fc. I'll be using it on my sons gsl se interior.
