Well, this is my spring break from school so to keep myself busy and somewhat out of troubled during the days I started the interior convesion to black w/ red door inserts. and boy is it looking flipping awsome. here are some pics . enjoy

















I also decided to keep the door handles grey like that. I like the touch other then painting them black also.

For whoever is doing inserts. Its a pita i must say. But its totally worth it.

I plan on painting the rest of my interior black this week. Such as the Pillars, back seat vinyle on the side, door molding on the bottom, Everything that is grey is going to be black. except maybe the glove box and under the steering wheel. Cuz with that grey will make the door handles look nice.

any suggustion or compliments or questions. feel free to post down.




newest picture enjoy it. cuz i love it

 

Looks good, but u have seem to have forgotten the how to... lol


I was thinkin of doing something to what Gardella did to there cobalt


later

 

I say you should do a how-to

 

Due to popular demand ( 2 people lol) ill have a step by step how to on this tomorrow. I copied somebody elses how to, but after doing it my self i can elaberate on things. .

 

okay okay, I want the part numbers for the red door inserts, I've been looking all over for those.

 

todays your lucky day. I just did it myself.

I have also just compelted my step by step how-to on that aswell. As soon as the mods. see it they will approve of it and post it down.

As of right now there is no pictures in my how-to. but that is only because im finishing up my passenger door tomorrow and taking more pictures. So I will just insert them in the how-to tomorrow around 4pm.

It is an awsome how-to i made. very detailed. it will help a lot of people i hope .

 

Very nice. I was thinking the same thing for my car. Basically the same way to for my black balt.

 

will look good once it's all painted...but you might wanna think about getting some balck seats or something, that's going to look a little off IMO...

 

I do plan on some black seats this summer.

but also just and update. I have all the pictures taken on my camrea and uploaded to imagestation.com ready to be inserted into the how-to i created for this site.

As soon as the mods approve of my how to i will go back in and edit it by placing pictures a long the way. Everybody loves pictures .

Also i have extra frabic that i can sell to anybody who wants red door inserts. Just the material to do it yourself though.

 

Ok i was looking into painting my door panels but didnt know if the dash would match the doors if painted black? Will the black paint match the dash piece?

 

did u paint them or dye them. I have been wanting to add some black to my interior and just wondered what you used. I hear a lot of people recommending the VHT Spray Dye

 

for painting interiors...SEM Paint is the only stuff I've ever use. Used it on my Cavy and it kicks anything else's ass...Tried that Duplicolor crap, didn't like it at all...Also can get their cleaner and Vinyl prep, if doing Vinyl.

Look at any Car Custom show on TV (Unique Whips for example) they use SEM and they're using it on Lambo's, Cadillacs, Mercedes etc...

 

Woot finally a How-to.. cant wait to go read it..

this is awesome i have done everything but the doors and pillars but all under the dash, the glove box, and i redid the center console.... i already put in black and red racing seats so where did you get the material to do the doors?

 

nice job, that is how i want mine to look.

 

What about the backseats? Are they black also?

later

 

wow that is really hot looking, i might do the same.

 

not yet. but i do have some ideas kicking around. either back seat delete and do some fiberglass to is nice looking. orrrr use some RIT Dye on the rear head rests and see how it looks when dyded black. then possibly dye the whole back seat clothes. but we'll see

thanks for the compliments guys

 

What paint did you use for the interior?

Like what brand and stuff cuz I really wanna do this but i don't know what paint to use..

 

I used Krylon Fusion Black paint. Its specific for plastic bonding.

The colors a little darker but off the shelf its probaly the closest you will find.

 

Thanks I will have to give this a try

 

hey what did you use to bond the armrests to the door panels. duramix? dominion sure seal? i used duramix on mine. i love that stuff. i am about to redo them though. some blue suede is sitting in my room and cant wait. my headliner will also be done black suede.


great job on those red inserts tho!!
