Finally got the door panels done, got the dash done too, pics on the way. (might look blue, is just the flash in the underground)
As said pics of dash and rear deck done for the 2nd time to come!

yup sure did, its a vinyl "leather material i picked up, hated that carpet and it didnt dye well so i just redid it
so many of us have that same color, or close gold or platinum cars.. In some of the crapppy phone pics i posted on my car, I dyed my armrest console the wrong color, it was suppossed to match the headliner slash windshield post light beige but turned out really bright beige., I was thinking about doing the whole dark brown to that color to be radical but not rice.
not jacking here, these panels look good, it really changes the look of the interior. I am interested in seeing the final results.
w00t noice! How much did that cost ya?
Ya im doin the interior first and goin black on the exterior as well, oh console, ya i forgot i bought one off ebay was blue, redid it, not the best pics but....
I'd say, 50$ for all the leather, and 5 or 6 cans of paint both vinyl dye and plastic paint at 6$ each, so probably under 100$ not including buying the console for 45$Originally Posted by 2ndGenGuy
How did you attach the cover on the armrest? My brother tried using staples but i guess they were the wrong size.Ya im doin the interior first and goin black on the exterior as well, oh console, ya i forgot i bought one off ebay was blue, redid it, not the best pics but....

Regular staple gun on an angle inside didnt go too far in. would have liked to have been able to wrap it neater, maybe like the original but I am unexperienced in that area, im happy with the outcome.
What kind of vinyl die did you use? ... And try to get some daytime pics, cuz that looks pretty good.

I believe i looked for duplicolor, but only found...."plasti-kote vinyl dye", worked well, has a nice even, not too narrow spray, and ill work on the day time pics, those are just in my underground parking, but ill update as soon as possible Thanks
yeah looks pretty good.. interested to see what it looks like with more light
So instead of putting them in straight(staples) you put them in at an angle correct?

Ummm yea, hard to explain without pics, sorry, but there is an extra "lip" when you take the cover off, therefore making the underside thicker, and I came in on an angle to that lip, ask any more questions if there is confusion, as said without pics its hard to explain
I think i got the vivid picture. Thanks.
