i'm ready to paint my interior with all the needed materials...the only problem is the cloth. some of my panels are a cloth and was wondering if i can spray paint the cloth with a interior paint to match my interior...can i do the same thing to seats as well? i'm going to have a black/grey interior and i want to spray paint the seats to match my interior too because i can't afford racing seats yet. any help here?

fibre glass all the cloth and paint it that way! or u can do what i saw on a web site awhile ago, just pull the cloth sh*t off, BUT be VERY careful! when its off u have to use some sort of cement or glue and paint that on, when it dries, sand it down and makes a hard smooth panitable surface! im not sure what the web site was , but who ever's it is, u can put the link here and show. sorry i don't remember.....hope i could help!

I've been trying to figure out a solution to this also. I don't want to get racing seats i like the ones in there. But I do want another color. I bought some spray on dye to test it on some scraps. It holds up alright, but not real well. I put it through the dryer and it was fine, but afterwards it would rub off just a little leaving behind a lighter color than what it was supposed to be.

so should i just use a fabric spraypaint and just paint it again to color or dye it when it fades? i think that cement thing would be too complicated.

btw dvh...my mx3 is the same color as yours. how'd you get your body kit to match the stock metallic beige color?

oh, and is your 4cyl an rs? how can i tell if my 92 mx3 is a gs or an rs? i ordered some reverse gauges and i need to know whether my mx3's a gs or rs. mine's a 92' 4cy. 1.6L. thanks

If you have a 4cy 1.6L, then you have a RS...GS is a 6cy @1.8L

k, my car is not beige! or whatever u called it! my car is silverstone metallic, paint code 3L. and not sure what u mean by saying how did i get the paint to match, its not hard to match paint, thats what they have paint shops for????????<BR>also, gs are 6cyl 1.8 L , they have the front lip spoiler on the front bumper!<BR>the rs 4 banger, 1.6L have no lip spoiler

easy dvh. i didn't know u were so sensitive bout your car's color. it was just a question..well thanks for telling me the actual color though.

no prob....... :p

btw dvh, how much did it cost for a paintshop to paint your kit the silverstone metallic paint code 3l color?

i got a really good deal......front bumper, side skirts and wing , painted and installed for $200 CDN.......i do most of my work

nice...that's a good deal too...it's pretty much worth it because i don't wanna drive around with the body kit white or grey and the rest of the car silverstone metallic.

i'm thinking of just replacing the factory door panel cloth and rear panel cloths with a light grey suede which will match my black/grey/white interior scheme nicely. they sell it for $8 by the yard at yardage town. <BR>i'm planning to replace the door and rear panel cloths, then remove the fold-down mirror from the headliner and put suede sheets over the entire headliner (covering up the holes from the fold-down mirrors)...so it'll look like i "shaved" my fold-down mirrors for a more sleeker look. <BR>i also want to put in some suede seats. i'm planning to get some lexus is motorized suede bucket seats from ebay.<BR>what do you guys think?
