Interior Work

[sanjay]

Which of you 3G fanatics have redone your whole interior?
Pearldrop has done a sweet interior, but the problem is the price he paid for it.

Should I respray my interior in white paint?
Does that make the appearance heaps betteR?

See my sig for pics of my interior.
My interior is the nice dark blue. so should I ruin the good stock trim by painting it? Or should i just leave it alone?

[sanjay]

How do I go about redoing my interior in imitation white? - is it very harD? - some comments would be greatly appreciated!
thanks sanjay

I have done the back panels on my coupe and they were very easy. I have also done about 70% of the interior parts black and the door panels have a white insert. The front doors are gonna be the problem because of the angles. The back panel only had one bad angle when doing the material and took a bit of time to get it smooth. Basically you will need interior plastic paint, material you want, padding, 3M spray glue, hot glue gun, and a iron and damp cloth to smooth out material. I never finished it because thats my spare/winter car but i will be doing it again on my nice car when the body is painted.

pics? - thanks rob

Send me a PM with your email. The picture is not that great but shows the panel ok. Its not real detailed cause the panel is black. I will email them to you.

i did my interior and a few of my friends cars as well
you should do the trim parts white(vents,clock,steering console,gauge pod)and leave the rest the nice blue and mabey in the door take out the fabric insert and put in some white vinyl. Then hit a store and pick up a white shift boot,blue shift knob,blue petals and bright blue floormats.if you want to go with a new stering wheel go momo apache or trec

[hondaaccord_86]

its painted on. i dont know how the dash could be upholstery

heres a pic of my door...

[hondaaccord_86]

btw, i only had time to do one door.

[nvrenf]

painted interior parts is easy but if your goning to do it remove the dash its easier and be sure to clean it real good i like to use red scocht bright pad and wax&grease
remover or rubbing alchohal and then spray t with high build urathane primer and block sand it smooth then spray it with base coat clear it works really well and on all rigided plastics too.

[89AccordLvr]

hey to remove the dash do you have to take out the steering wheel and what bout the seats also?

[dXsquared]

i can recover the dash with fabric..... well i dont know if I could.. but it can be done... i am thinkin of geting some bright blue tweed for my dash, door pannels and rear seats.. and get some race seats for the front... here i go again.... wanting to spend cash on the 3g... I WANT A CRX!!!!!!
