Re: Working on interior
I was in advance auto and found a mirror that was supposed to clip on a sunvisor. I measured the plastic trim for the mirror, and it fit perfectly, and was only $6. Took it home and cut out the mirror. Super glued some black plastic mesh material on the inside framing. Spray painted the whole thing a black matte color and let it dry overnight. Super glued the hole assembly to the black leather over the defrost hole. It actually came out a lot better than I thought it would...

Re: Working on interior
Worked on my passenger door panel yesterday for a few hours. I took off the cloth padding from the door and covered it with black leather. The door padding used to be red, as you can see below.
The original red is faded and has a few cig burns from the previous owner. Here is pad covered in black leather. Currently waiting for it to dry and set in.
I have also removed the grey shag carpet on the bottom of the door and replaced it with black carpet. Not picks on that yet, but will update when completed with the whole door panel.
Let me know what you think so far.

Re: Working on interior
do you have the dimensions or length of how much material to buy to cover the door panels?

I bought 3 yards of leather for about $40. It is a little over 3ft in width. You could do the door panels with 1 yard easily. I still have to do the driver side, so I will try to make a "how to" for it. Also, I recovered the carpet section on the bottom of the door with new black carpet material from wal-mart. $9 for a 6' x 3' roll of black.
I am going to reinstall the passenger side door panel this weekend, as I am working on covering the nasty grey plastic as well. Trying paint on old plastic parts to see how well it works. May go to a dye solution if the paint doesn't work out.Last edited by TheGr8Schlotzky; 10-21-2009, 04:40 PM.

Re: Working on interior
yeah I was thinking of redoing my cloth panels on the doors and then painting all the interior plastic panels with rattle can black. I've done it to the plastic hatch cover and it looks great.

Re: Working on interior
A high quality vinyl or plastic paint may work for a while on the hatch panels or A-pillars, but I'd suggest against it on high wear areas such as the kick panels and door panels. I used a high quality SEM dye/paint on my kick panels and had to repaint them 3 times within months before I just bought a set of black kick panels. There is just nothing that will stick well enough to stay looking good for long periods of time.
