That's the final color. I decided the blue would just disappear with the matte clear especially.
It's actually green.

Well that's cool. It looks kinda gold to me, but I'm blind in one eye and can't see out of the other...
Before and after.
Bee you tea full !!!!! Amazing transformation

This was a first coat. I'll see about more pics later. Work has me from sun up to sun down right now.

That does look good. My sons car had the aftermarket economy black door panels when I bought it. I bought a set of originals from EBay, but they're dark gray and I've got to change the vinyl color to titanium. While the carpet at the bottom isn't far off from the floor carpet, I'd like to try to make it a little closer match. Does the carpet feel hard or stiff after dying it? Thanks for the reply

I expected the carpet to get matted and nasty, but it took the dye very well. Looks like it was made black. It looked even better after the last coat.
Got the interior pieces i have shot today. I need to get back to my car and get more. I want to get the center console, the trim around the windshield, the passenger seat (it has mechanical problems), and probably take the glove compartment too.
I'll pull the dash pad to make it easy to get the windshield trim, I also want to have a serious look at the dash. It has a crack right above the glove compartment. I'll probably pull the dash next time and repair it, i guess i'll have easy access to the heater box that way. I need to replace the heater core and the air conditioning evaporator anyhow.
I tried spraying the seat cover with an interior dye today, i'm not too thrilled. i'll let you know what i do here.
Anyhow, pictures of today's progress.

Nazareth is gonna sound like ass coming from speakers mounted down there in the kick panels.
Those are for when he wants to pass out in his back seat to keep from getting a DUI/OWI. Head hanging down by the floor, drool running out. Sweet nothings behind whispered quietly until his battery dies.
I know, those holes are already there. Oddly, the little pioneer speakers still work! After 15 years in a salvage.
That's meant for natural or blended cloth that is porous. The silly cloth in our cars (and most others) won't absorb the dye. It needs to be coated to change the color and eventually wears off the fibers.
googleMy seat covers will be something I'll worry more about tomorrow, I think. My helper has to go to the doctor today so I'll be a busy little camper and won't be able to mess with them.
The previous owner from way back put speakers there, oddly enough, the speakers are in great condition and still work.
Yes sir, someday......
Work has sucked for almost four months now. I believe i'm about to come out of the hole though. We have five healthy bodymen working again as of three days ago. I should be slammed with work soon that'll pay for the new stuff i still need to buy.
I found this slow period has helped me since i needed so much freaking time to fix that hood. In case i haven't mentioned it, i am sooooooo glad to be done with that part!
What've you been up to Clay?
