Ever since I have owned my car I wanted "Leather" looking seats and a black interior, well, being stuck with gray plastic and gray cloth seats, I finally decided to do something about it....

I decided to have my seats re-covered, and thanks to a thread I saw not too long ago, I knew EXACTLY how I wanted my seats to look...

Once my seats were at the shop getting redone, I then looked long and hard for black interior panels....and with no luck I had only one choice....To Paint!!

I then started to strip my interior clean....all the plastic trim from my kick panels back were GONE... (Dont have a picture of that though lol)







As you can see, my seats were getting kinda old and ratty looking, not including the rip on the driver's seat...

 

I then cleaned each plastic piece with soap and water, then with mineral spirits to get off any oil...

I used KRYLON Fusion paint, the stuff meant for plastic, and to be honest, I took a huge gamble by hand painting it, but end the end, I'm glad I did, yeah there's some mistakes here and there, but not noticeable unless your REALLY close to the paint...






----------
And then a week and a half later, my seats were done...

I could not be more happy with the way they turned out....

 

One last pic...



As of now my interior is about 95% done, the ONLY thing left is to find some black GTA door panels and have the cloth section on those redone in vinyl as well...

Tell Me What You Think!!!!

 

that does look really good..i painted all my plastics w/ paint/vinyl paint from advanced auto parts.

i had blk leather already search my name and i sure you can pull some pics of if you want too

 

The seat covers are actually vinyl....

 

The seats look great. BUT...I would have used flat or semi gloss black so you don't have so much gloss on the panels. I have painted plastics before with flat black krylon and they come out factory looking with a nice calm finish. Of coarse if you like the gloss disregard my comment

 

Lol, Yeah I kinda like the gloss myself....

 

Looks good but the flat black would look better......

 

looks really good, I did the same thing and am very happy with the turn out

 

looks fine, definatly not flat paint, maybe a satin, but it looks fine the way it is. we have the same seats, i just dont have the rears in mine.

 

i agree its way too shiny looks tacky and clearly tell its painted over from anyones quick glance, would have just found a black junker imo.

 

Why? Flat black on plastic dosen't look or feel like a chalk board. It looks satin and stock.

 

seats look great, how much the covers cost you?

 

600$ Exactly

 

oh, that seems like a lot but i bet it took a long time for them to do it. Ill probably just go with a newer seat of camaro/ta leather seats.

 

I like the seats. The vinyl looks better than the OEM cloth did. I have leather and it is the best but yours looks nice.

 

I like the seats, but I think the interior panels look very cheap because they're way too shiny. I've used that Krylon stuff and I hate it for that reason. For a 100% stock appearance, you can't beat SEM Landau black. There's no better interior paint that you can get from a spray can.
