    What color are you trying to go for?

    I have a CRX with a black interior and it was basically gray from all the sun damage. I use this stuff called Forever Black that comes in a shoe polish type applicator and redid the entire interior making it look new. If you wanted to go black you could always try something like that.

    You could also try going to your local auto parts store and see if they have any Duplicolor vinyl and fabric coatings paint.

    I think someone on www.honda-tech.com tried it and it worked pretty well.

    thanks man, and yeah my local auto store has that duplicolor interior paint vinyl and fabric paint, i'm sure walmart would have it as well.

    how well did that "foreverblack" stay in? has it faded yet? an how long have you had it? does it get stickey when it gets hot?

    how does it clean? that was my biggest problem, the kryllion was sticky so paper towels would basically tear apart on it leaving fuzzy like shit everywhere.


    thats when i finally got mad at the driver door panel and kind of "beasted" it ripping it off and slamming it on the ground a few times. it got me pretty good too tho, took a HUGE chunk of meat off my index finger.

    These are the only two interior pics I had, I know they don't show well but you get the idea. I did the entire dash and center console.

    looks good ^^

    there is a reason car manufactures don't color their interiors with blue,RED, yellow, green... it's because it may seem 'cool' for about 5 minutes, and after that you are so annoyed you feel like driving off a cliff.


    and yes ^^ looks good.


    i'm done being polite, your car is like ghetto rice. get a vanity plate that says 'UNKLBEN'.

    i know everyone else is thinking the same thing, i just know it.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    UNKLBEN's ;) lolz :lol:

    i'd just rather look at an interior with more to it then just a plain interior, it looks better imo but everyone has different opinions.

    I don't think he ever said what color he was looking for so I think your statement was a little uncalled for. He simply asked a valid question and was given some options by another member why add your useless comments? 90% of us have gone thru the rice phase and moved on and if this is the phase that he is in maybe we should help him past it. I am sorry I am sure your statement had some merit I just think it could have been done better.
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    rice phase? :?:

    there is no rice phase, i'd just much rather look at a colored interior then a dull one. :roll: jeeezz, you guys are hostil.
  • Okiewagon1Okiewagon1 Wagonist
    My bad just read his other posts.
  • Okiewagon1Okiewagon1 Wagonist
    Well you have to admit the blue valve cover would kinda of clash with the red interior. But to each his own.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    to each his own, but i dont see how the interior is all that dull. simple, but not dull. its like that for a reason, like quarters said, how many people would by a car with red plastic? haha...

    anyways man, do what you want. but if its red then the same way that will get dull.... then blue, etc... just saying. there is a CRX in my town, a black one with red painted interior and im not gonna lie, it looks really like crap, like, really really cheap .. but um.. anywho.

    i went through a "rice phase" when i was 15, 2 years before i had a car. by the time i got a car it was gone, so i never get to sickness :lol: lolz.

    bump.
  • RevmaynardRevmaynard Council Member
    Eek! Whatever floats your boat though.
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    it might not be a color liked by most, but you have to admit, it looks good and smooth.
  • RevmaynardRevmaynard Council Member
    The quality of work is good. I'm not saying it's not, but that color is ricesque.
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    yeah i know, i get that alot. :roll: i wasn't going for a "rice" look, just something with more color.

    i'm thinking of where the red is now, a silver color and the rest black.

    all the "tan" color silver and all the "grey" color, satin black.

    good, bad? i'm sure you guys would like it better then the current work. :wink:
  • RevmaynardRevmaynard Council Member
    I think you could pull off a grey/black better. What color are you going with the exterior?
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    i'm debaiting.

    either the "beagle" style look with silver top, and black along the bottom. with black painted bumpers and a black hood.

    or red body with black trim, red painted bumpers and a black hood.

    i'm stuck with one of those.
  • mejtemejte Band Wagon
    that red is a bit too 'wild' for me :roll:

    but you did a good job.

    MIKE,
    Don't take it to heart.
    Some of us are just a little more sedate than you youngins'! :)
    that's why we were labeled Old School by a Moderator here;)

    I think your work looks pretty sharp.
    Would i choose to color my own interior in anything other than Grey,Black or Blue? No

    I posted a long rant on this subject awhile back. as you say to each their own. At least you're keeping that wagon on the road and in working order ;)

    I painted an interior once and will never do it again. The bright colors will reflect off the inside of the glass and I hated it. I would rather have the durability of the stock plastic also and not have to worry about scratching the paint off.

    I can't see pics at the moment so my comment is not a shot at you just personal experience.
  • jpciiijpciii familEE
    rice ftl :roll:
  • michaelhinkle1michaelhinkle1 Senior Wagonist
    old people can't see good anyways. :wink:

    but for the record, all the red is going to be painted a "silver" like color.

    and all the blue trim will be black.

    the "roof" will be black as well, the trim along the doors (light colored trim), will all be painted the "silver" color to match parts of the dash.

    everything you can see that isn't red, will be black and everything you can see that is red will be silver. comprendo?

    this isn't my stuff, but it's the color it'll be.

    That colour isn't too bad, its all up to you mang how you feel about your car is all that matters. :)

    FPV is Ford Performance Vehicles... you guys would be so pissed off when you see the Fords we get here. But i digress...
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    ^^ or the fords in Europe. they actually have me saying "wow, thats pretty nice" then you walk up to it and the interior feels like a new VW's in terms of quality. *sigh* once again, the USA gets the low end stuff :x

    So that's what it looks like with the dash off! I wonder what that big tube above the steering wheel shaft is for?

    Nice job with the black! Especially like the way the door panels match.
  • wagodizzlewagodizzle Council Member and EDM expert
    that tube holds the steering shaft in place...among other things
