ok so, i really didnt like the grey two tone black/grey interior and wanted a all black interior. plus the previous owner got every single peice of grey plactic dirty ***, it was like he had grease all over his hand and rubbed it in on every peice even the ones in the rear?? like seriously why even touch those lol...
So i went and got some new headline from a fabric store $30 bucks, got a 1/2 yard of vinyl black $11 for the visors... you cant find black visors for this car??? i tried even for the lancer..... PITA.... now i wanted to match the grain of the dash with the plastic peices, so i used a product called rubberize it $8 a can, it paints anything and drys hard unlike other rubber products that stay kinda rubbery. that gave it the exact grain i wanted and matches the dash perfect, then i used a flat black spray paint, 2 coats and here are some of the pics. almost done with the headliner install ill post pics of that when its all said and done. doing the radio bezel and shifter bezel black too.

Im leaving the headliner lights,visor mirrors,tweeter speaker covers and OH **** handles Grey, just to give it a little definition.
Also ill do a write up for those who are interested, take about a day of crusing around with no upper interior thou just to let things dry.

can you get pics of a piece directly next to the stock texturized pieces? im curious to see how close they turned out. they look great though

 

how do they feel though? can you "feel" like they have been painted?

 

The feel like plastic, the rubber Bonds better then any plastic paint ever would and the paint bonds to that rubber even better, its drys hard ive used all types of rubber sprays but this product is my fav, it drys HARD and u can spray it on anything and give it any type of texture you desire by how much you spray on it and how you spray it how far away u are when sparying it Ect... after 2 days its even sandable.

Almost done drying after that ill post up pics all the peices look decent just doing the headliner and visors now, waiting to see how well the vinyl cement works with the visor material.

Where did you buy "rubberize" at???

 

Sorry I have not updated yet, someone decided to try and steal my car while parked at my house, with no headliner or interior I stalled. Needless to say he failed cause I have two alarm systems piggybacked on each other. I need a new ignition switch but I was able to finish the interior today.
U can get "rubberize it" from grainger I have not seen it anywhere else, I'll post a
Pic of the can too so you know what I'm talking about. And tomorrow I'll post pics of the Interior it came
Out really good, really happy with it.

 

ok got some pics, the headliner turned out better then expected that 3m sticky spray is really good. here are some pics some of the peices are a little dusty i have not cleaned it all up yet as you can see but it all matches really well and looks decent.
So grainger for the Sprays and any fabric store for the headliner, youll need about 2 yards and half a yard of what ever you like for the visors if your going to do them, they are a job thou. I suggest vinyl and vinyl adhesive over the old vinyl of the visor.
If your going to use headliner, you dont need to remove the old headliner cause it has a foam backing which will adhear to it easily and wont show the old headliner thru like if you used something with out a foam backing,like leather or vinyl you would prolly have to remove the old headliner and scrap it clean so the Vinyl/leather sits evenly on it or it wont look that clean.

I would have painted it all black, they grey looks outa place to me.

 

i like, i would do the rest of the pieces black as well. what did you paint the fabric on the roof area?

 

The fabric is new on the roof area, I went to the fabric store and picked up two yards of
Headliner and redid it.

 

looking good... and yeah some krylon fusion on the grey plastics would look perfect. kinda did the same but red. Red everywhere!!!

 

beautiful your car is.

 

totally agree.... if your going to do the job, Do it right and complete it

 

i think i will paint them all black, only reason i left it unpainted was to give the peices some definition, but the grey is too light compared to the black so this weekend im going to remove them and do everything black. As an update on the visors, i dropped them at my moms house and she is sewing them up this weekend... i cant sew and after looking at it the best results are gunna be from sewing not glueing the vinyl up.
