[Droppedbeotch]

i know there is probably threads posted already but i didnt have time to look. i'm kinda short on cash so i'm thinking about dying the vinyl in my truck. its marroonish now and i wanna do so custom stuff. has anyone else done this and how do you do it and is it hard and will it hold up? i wanna experiment with it alittle but wasnt sure if its worth it.

What are you thinking about using?

The Dupli Color sh!t is garbage.

i have no clue. thats why i need help. all i know is i dont have money to buy all new interior pieces and mine are still good i just have no clue how to go about changing the color

[Bozup]

what color is it now. and what color are you wanting to go to?

dupli paint isn't horrible but the few times I have used I spent alot of time prepping it. if anyone else has suggestions I'd be interested in hearing what to use myself.

I've had good success with SEM stuff on the T/A. I've never changed colors completely but I have no doubt you could do it. I didn't get much time to abuse it before I sold the car but there was never any sign of flaking or anything. I also did my boost gauge pod with it in the truck and I manhandled quite a bit while installing it and it held up fine.

It's nearly $20 a can plus you'll need a $20 can of prep spray as well but it covers well and I never had any issues with running like you do with cheap spray paint.

Im goin to the upholstery *spelling?* shop to check how much it'd cost for a white headliner and my door skins to be done white. I've heard the dyes are junk but never messed with them. Rather have it done in the fabric i chose and know its not gonna fade etc.

WHITE???? You must be nuts. Thats going to get soooo dirty. Especially with all the dirt roads. You would be better painting it so you could wipe it clean. IMO.

[csl2006]

well Im thinkin of going leather so I could clean it easier than a fabric. Gonna cost me out the ass but eh. Still checkin around on the interior mods so. Just 1 idea I threw out there. Seats aint gonna be white they'd deff be dirty from workin in a fab shop so probably pick up some nice seat covers probably black.:rolleyes:
