[criticalxracer]

i want to do my interior white, does anyone know the best way to either paint or use some kind of fabric to make black, white. im kinda short on money so the cheapest way would be good. but of course i still want it to look good though. thanks alot guys peace.

considering that most of the interior is either plastic or vinyl? I would think a Vinyl paint would work on the softer surfaces (roofliner, soft parts of the dash and doors.. and you might be able to use a plastic primer and paint on the harder.

Personally, I have toyed with the idea of doing the itnerior of my tib in tan.. it would look good on a green car

the previous owner of my car painted the console between the front seats white and the bloody dealer did a rough job painting the white 2 black. I gsuggest jsut leave it at black, looks cooler anyway

I would not suggest white for anything but a true show car... it gets nasty and grubby far too easily and is too hard to keep clean.

For all the plastic on my int. (pics in profile) I started sanding with 600 dry then went to 400 dry and 400 wet then began to spray paint in light coats several times. When it looked good I started with light coats of clear coat several times until it was where I wanted it. If I didnt sand the plastic really good it fish eyed real bad. I did do my visors with the vinyl spray paint and plan to use the same on the soft parts of the doors. I lightly sanded the vinyl after washing it down good. W/o sanding it it didnt come out right. I've had it all painted for months now and it still looks good.

i painted certain parts of mine red. just get the same paint used on a car's exterior. Before you paint it though hit it up with something called "Bulldog" its an adhesive that helps paint stick to plastic better. You'll have to paint it with an airgun just like you would a car so you may have to get a buddy or a body shop to do it for you if you dont know how. But it looks nice

Long (a member here) did his in white, only he used dye. Check it out here:

You can email him from there if you got any questions.

Whatever happened to Long?

thats a bloody phat ride. But the white is a real turnoff, if u want to change color, might as well go for tan with tan leather seats. now thats cool
