I was tired of looking at a gray interior, so I decided that its time to go black... I started with little stuff like the center console, speaker covers as you can see here...

Interior

Now i have my complete dashboard out and got that painted with some vinyl spray paint. Im doing like a black and white theme, so the vinyl part of the dash, like on the top is all black, and the plastic parts are white.... also im in the process of doing the door panels, Does anyone have any suggestions about where the cloth was, like what to do there? I could try to refiberglass it, or get some like white carpeting to cover it, ill get some pics of everything today and post them up later.

 

I was bored so i went and took some pics...

Ill get the dashboard pic later since that isnt at my house...

 

Looks good, u think it will peel or fade any time soon?

 

i did the door panel with krylon about 4 months ago or something like that... and it hasnt faded or cracked yet... but to be sure i used special vinyl stuff for the dash since it was in direct sunlight... we shall see what happens though with the dash... all my interior pieces i did over a year ago, like all the center console pieces that are white and they havent cracked or anything so im being optimistic about the dash

Looks good!

 

i think the dash looks really good, looks like a stock black...good job with it, gets some pics when its all in

 

What do you guys suggest about the air conditioning controls and the rest of the buttons? should i paint them black and slide them in, or try to create my own unique setup, esp about that air conditioning control...

 

You did a real good job man. Looks professional. Something needs to be done about that A/C control unit. Gray right in the middle of all your other paint work will prove to be an eye sore. I say go for it. Just prep the surface real good and use a plastic bonding paint. That kind of plastic has very tight pores and will take extra care to get it done without it coming off from daily use. I did a color change from light gray to black on my old '92 sedan and that part proved to be the hardest for the paint to bond to.

What kind of unique set up did you have in mind?... Good luck!
