Interior swap

I want the inside of my Balt to be black. Has anyone done this? Or can anyone point me to any threads. I haven't found any. I have a sunroof too, nd idk if I should just paint the hardware for it or what

I did my headliner in suede, and used some weird "plastic spray dye" to do the pillars, turned out great!

for the best results just try to find black panels for sale on here and ebay. painting panels can be sketchy when it comes to matching but it can work if you use the right paint and methods

as for seats... good luck trading. you can buy a set outright though,

no cobalts came with black/dark headliners, they are all the same grey ones. so reupholstering and painting the roof trim is your only option if you want all that black

wrapping the headliner was actually sooooo easy, it drops outta the car in a few simple steps.. and goes back in easily to, took me half an hour to take the headliner out... the first time (I sprayed it black, then it discoloured so pulled it back out and wrapped it)

lol yup, I did make a thread, and I see you resurrected it haha!

and yes, I bought black suede, and 3M epic trim spray adhesive (stuffs crazy strong), hosed it down and CAREFULLY laid the material over it, pressed it all down and let it sit over night, looks awesome.

oh this is my headliner, dunno why it looks purply in the pick, its black as it gets dont worry lol!.



***and yes I did straighten out that pattern later HAHA

How much was that material? Nd I have a sunroof so do u think cutting for that would be a pain? My liner's beige too so that's why I want it darker cuz I think it'll just look bad.

well i didn't swap anything, my interior came black, but I had this stuff laying around

VHT Vinyl Dye™

and I used it on the pillars, it holds up GREAT and hasnt chipped or peeled or discoloured.
