I have painted my interior panels black I was just wondering if anyone has any DIY ideas of what/how i can get my interior carpet black? Sorry if this sounds newbish

 

No there isn't...
All you need is vinyl spray paint and a steady arm

 

you can buy carpet dye. you should pm cityknight...he dyed his seats black. they dont look too bad. i think painting interior is kinda tacky looking especially the panels, etc.

 

actually it does not look bad at all i have taken alot of time sanding,priming and painting these panles it just that i am tired of looking at my gray ineterior and to me it finnishes the evo look i always wanted plus it is a cosmetic upgrade for my car due to the fact that my interior was kinda shabby looking

 

any idea of where i can get this? i'm hoping that ofter a few days or so it doesn't start to reveal the gray again that would really suck

 

Yea they sell it at any auto store. I usually get my spray paints at Meijer because it's cheaper.
You should check out my thread. I painted my interior too.

 

Yeah, I gots an idea, don't do it. Its not worth it. The paint never goes on right, it will flake/pill off over time. I would put the money into buying a black interior out of an oz rally/ralliart/ or evo off ebay. Thats the way to go if you want a black interior.

 

ok will do how long have you had yours painted and did you DIY?

 

I've had mine painted for about 4 months already and it still looks like I did it yesterday. I didn't do a DIY but it's really simple. Just make sure your prep-work is good and your area is clean. Spray 6"-12" away and never do heavy coats. Do like 5 or 6 light coats with 2 or 3 light clearcoats.

The paint I used for the dash pieces was the Duplicolor Rim Paint. It works best and is extremely durable.

 

i need to redo my interior

 

ok i used bumper paint and did 1 coat of prime,2 coats of paint and 2 coats of clear to me it look very durable but i guess only time will tell

 

i think micheals has carpet dye

 

pics? i wanna see how its coming along

 

I would definitely recommend buying a carpet out of an OZ or an evo for a darker interior.

There used to be a guy on this site....i think his name was Thansai or something really close to that (its been a solid year since I've stopped in here) but at any rate, he used to buy wrecked evo's and part them out.

He's where I managed to get my carpet from. Switching the carpets is actually pretty easy, just remove the seats and center console. You never have to worry about paints or dyes fading (a problem i did have prior to swapping the carpet.)

 

I would stay away from the carped dye....but everything else sounds good. Pics!
