A-pillars not sueded, they are flocked, thats why it dont look the same.

Do they make a paint or wrap that would match the dash perfectly? If so, I may try it on my spare pillars.

Let me know, thanks...

Then took down the headliner, ripped off all the old stuff sanded down the particle board and cut the cloth to size. At first I used spray ahesive but it didn't hold the cloth too well because it was summer time and the heat in the car melted the ahesive. So I went to home depot and bought a gel looking glue for counter tops and used that it held up amazing for the headliner. As for the visors just cut out the shape of the visors and again used the glue and sewed the visors at the seams. All in all looked perfect, everyone loved the job and It was only $10 so if you wanted to save lots of money go with that route its very simple didn't take that long either.
Please post pics if you got any

The paint idea sounds sketchy, but I do really like the suede idea. I love how everytime I log on here I add things to my list of to do. Good luck with it

The paint is available at any "Painters Suppily" for pro body shops. It's not cheap either, usually 13 a can. Its great stuff, it's stretchable, durable, and bonds to plastic and vinyl. If you ever need a quick touch up, it blends right in.

SEM ColorCoat 15013 (Landau Black)

one thing you guys need to make sure when doin this is you dont just get PAINT.. paint scratches and fades.. is a bad idea..

you should be using a die that accually bonds with the plastic and seeps in.. it wont scratch and fade like paint...

Nice. Did you use that same spray stuff on everything including the grab handles and steering wheel? How did you do the headliner?

The stuff I use is a dye, not a paint.
