Guys My car needs a new headliner, carpet, and a driver side seat.
Ive been tossing around the idea of wrapping the entire interior in leather to give it a more high class feel.

Another option Ive considered was painting all the interior panels with a semi gloss or matte plastic paint. Along with a true black headliner and true black carpet and new MRC seats.

Well I didnt want to tear the interior out of the DD and then have the paint look like hell, but today I had a local guy give me all of the panels out of a 95 formula.

They are all tan now, but tommorow I will be spraying them with some krylon fusion to see how they come out.

Also will be doing the insert of the firebird door in either leather or vinyl but I cant decide on a color. Silver maybe, something like a dark silver but not exaclt the stock color, charcoal.

Too dark to work on them now but Ill be gettin up bright and early tommorow before going to the track to work on them.

 

I got up early this morning to do a little work before going to the track and Ive got some pics.

Here you go.
Before


First attempt at a First Coat. Haha It took me a little to get used to spraying down instead of out

After



Heres the Paint Im using

Am I the only one that LOVES the new spray nozzle for rattle cans

A sample of my interior now

 

let us know how the paint holds up on there. I am considering painting all my interior plastic black but im scared its going to wear off quickly

 

Well I know another guy that did it along time ago and he said there has been no chipping or weird amount of scratching. his name was contra striker on most of the other boards, I don't know if he was on this one.

He used Krylon Fusion too.

Ill let yall know but it will be awhile, since Im gonna rap the dash in leather and put in a new headliner, seats, and carpet along with deleting the back seats and the hump right there.

 

where you getting your molded carpet? I need to do that soon but if heard a lot of aftermarket carpets have fitment issues

 

I havent decided yet but I need to find a non-pre-cut one so I dont have the holes for the seats.

I dont know though, If I find a real good deal on a good condition stock carpet I can sow that up and dye it but we will see

 

UPDATE
The track trip got cancled so I decided to do a little more work.

And I have some questions.

How do I take off the board on the back side of the door panel. I see some little clips, do I just cut those off, but then how do I put the panel back in. See Pic


Then I started looking at the door panels and Im trying to plan a mod of attack.


The tan outer part (1.) will be painted since its plastic.
What color and material do you think I should do the insert (2.)in , Im thinking maybe suede or leather and a dark silver or a color slightly off the paint color. What do you think?
What should I do with the vynil handle (3.)? Ive heard of vynil paint flaking off pretty bad, should I just wrap it in a black leather or do any of you have any better Ideas? Could I dye it?

 

To get the panel off, you can cut all the little melted pieces off that are holding it on just leaving the pegs behind. Once you are ready to put the panel back on, you can use a soldering iron to melt the end of the peg and stick the ends(melted pieces youcut off) back on them. There is a write up somewhere but I don't know the link, maybe someone else does. I can vouch for thisd working though because I did it this summer and I have had no problems.
