Ok, so even though i was planning to do this eventually i didnt expect to do it in the winter. Especially when my garage isnt heated, and i have to wait 30 min before it heats up with my oh so snappy propane heater 🆒
So, after a nice day of relaxing and work on and off i’ve ALMOST come to my finished product.
Here she blows:
Ripped out the dirty interior
Got it into the house and onto my paint sheet.
Thank god my parents are gone for the weekend 🙂
Gotta love the high pressure central vac’s 😉
So after using the vacuum, and this cleaner shit my step-mom has, i got the interior down to the basement and into the small shop.
Got the dye ready, and away i went.
Here’s the, out of the car, result:
So much nicer 🙂
Now, tomorrow afternoon i shall first clean up the gutted interior and get out all the ugly rust dust from my seat rails 😕, clean up the left over fuzz from the floor lining, and reinstall the new and improved black interior. 🙂
And for the second project of my night i decided to change my boring cluster lights.
But instead of going along with everyone else and using a steady color i decided to grasp a somewhat fading effect. I’ll most likely change it once i get bored of it, but non the less alot better than the dull white.
Before:
After:
The lights are brighter in person…always is.
So yea, that was what kept me busy in this horrible weather.
I love winter and all, but fuck, im so done with it this year lol.
Thanks.
Mike

Looks awesome, and it’s good to see someone putting some effort into the details of their interior.
I’m interested to see how that dye wears though, if it starts rubbing off or transferring onto other fabrics and whatnot… I’d definitely do this for my interior since it’s getting a good cleaning of the same fashion this spring before it goes in the new interior, but I would hate to see it start rubbing off on my pant legs and stuff, especially when it gets wet…

So far from what i can see, theres no transfer of it, the main purpose is for the dye to soak into the original fabric and in some sense bleach it black.
I’ll keep all updated though, better reference.

They probably have specific plastics it will and will not work with. You may have used it on the incorrect type. If it’s strong enough to not transfer, wipe off, crack, or fade, it’s likely going to react with any plastics they don’t expressly say it’s good on…

i was hoping it was some kinda better dye. i used this duplicolour on my headliner and it doesnt feel smooth anymore. it feels rough. plus how many cans did you use? i see alot of people that used this had made their carpets blotchy.
