Hi, i know the question of painting interior has been asked before, but i couldnt find a thread about painting suzuka blue interior black. i was .wondering if anybody had any success. i was just gonna look for oem black parts but was just wondering if this was a possible option.

 

i guess since no one has responded then this is probably a bad idea

 

Its a very risky project doing an entire interior.
What do you want black?
I advise you to post a wtb/ wtt for blue to black because you might be able to make money from the blue interior.

Its very difficult to do and mulitple stages. Not just a "spray paint" spray party.
Plus, that dye is expensive and you need A LOT of it!

 

well i was just going to get real oem black dash and door panels and maybe roll hoops, then paint all the black interior pieces behind the seats and any platic cover interior pieces black

 

Ehh I wouldnt paint mine. So far i've gotten black/black suede clazzio seat covers, oem black carpet and floor mats, and oem black door inserts. If yours wanting black just do it right and get all the OEM black peices. There are also people that may be willing to trade you most of your blue interior for their black, or you can always sell yours and buy the black peics you need. You can always tell when plastic peices are painted, and sometimes has a certain smell that never really goes away which sucks.

You can actually get black carpet, dash, door panels, glove box, roll hoops, and the back plastic peices for a pretty good price if you just watch in the classfieds, just get it peice by peice until you have everyting and it will all be perfect.

 

hmmm ok thanks guys i will probably do that just take my time and find the pieces.

 

Instead of going through the trouble of finding/buying all the interior parts in black, I would just paint them. SEM sells a vinyl/plastic paint called SEM landau black that works great! (Purchased a couple cans of this and a few micro fine gray scuff pads at a local upholstery shop). I used this stuff years ago on my DD and you could not tell the difference. Landau black isn't really glossy but at the same time not flat either. IMHO, it looks oem. If I were you, the only parts that I would replace with black plastic would be the door panels/handles, and door sills.

how far are you from SC? (South Carolina) I am thinking about swapping and putting some blue pieces in my interior, my whole interior is black, im trying to decide what i want to do, but i think i narrowed it down to roll hoops, door inserts, and mats, so if you are semi close and want to trade let me know.

 

sem vinyl paint works good had for long time on my eg hatch and it didnt fade looked oem!
