how can i make my cloth in my 98 civic black? i beleive it use to be black but from wear usage on it,it has faded and not so black anymore? i heard of spraying it but will it rub off and get on your skin/clothes if your sweating or wet? or for whatever reasons? if so where can i buy the stuff and if i do spray it...how may coats? how long to let dry? THANKS

 

I want to do the exact same thing to my car. My interior in grey though.

 

i would have to guess you could just replace the seats through a junk yard.. might be a lil expensive that way.. or just get a new fabric and recover them alond with all the over interior peices.

 

for the cloth, you can get them dipped into dye, for plastic interior pieces, you can either get new oem black... or spray paint them... i used to have a full grey interior and it is now white and black... i painted it like 3 years ago or so and its not faded or cracked or chipped. its a spray paint you can get specifically for painting vinyl/plastic/ etc

 

For the carpet you can take the carpet out and fill a little kiddy pool with water and take 6 packets of die and let the carpet soak in there for over a day and take it out and let it dry then put it back in. I know someone that has done that.

 

lol that'd be scary but yeah i wanna order a new carpet for my car and paint all my trim but money and time is something i never come across so just another "one day" kinda thing :P

 

you can buy new carpet for like 100 bucks online in any color you want, and it's molded specifically for your car. i'd rather fork over 100 bucks for brand new great looking carpet. and if you want you can pay extra to get thicker carpet backing, or nicer material like plush carpet or whatever else they have, but they use nylon carpet for the standard price, just like the carpet that you already have.

p.s. while you have your carpet and seats out i would use that opportunity to get some spray-on dynamat or some other comparable brand. i think i'll be doing that whenever i get new seats, i'll take out the carpet and dynamat the floor, then put my carpet back in.

 

dynamat is the freakin shiznit. I already have my doors and my whole trunk done. I want to do my floors sometime soon. Its freakin awesome when you have the whole car done. sounds like you are riding in a mercedes. the only downside is its expensive. but I'm a car audio installer so I get it for about 1/3 of the retail price because of my discount.

as far as the interior color. there are some places that will make replacement seat covers in multiple colors (the oem replacement ones, not the slip on ones.) and for the carpet the best thing to do is is get the molded stuff.

and for all the vinyl surfaces I have heard that the best way to do it is using vinyl dye instead of painting it. then use some high quality plastic paint for all the plastic pieces.

 

Tight i just checked out that website. I requested samples of the carpet and ill probably be doing mine red or black.
