Well, I used to have the saddle interior, and i absolutly hated it, everybody told me how nasty it looked so it got me thinking, I could easily get black panels from a junk yard, and carpet from anywhere, the dash was my main concern, so after a few days of thinking it over, I rubed it down with alcohal, primered it, and painted it black, while it was in the car, LOL. It came out much better than expected. I also did the silver trim that alot of guys do around the stereo and dorrs and what not, I also snaped a few shots of the GT after her bath, let me know what you guys think.

I've been replacing my grey pieces for black too. The only thing I have left to do is the dash and the airbag on the steering wheel. What type of primer and paint did you use? You know......the brand and color code if available. Thanks for the info and you did an awesome job too.

I got all my supplies from Oreilly's, I used all Dupli-Color stuff, the primer is the greay one, they have clear, red, and grey, I used the grey one. Then i tried two different things, I bought some regular old black clearcoat spray, and this stuff made for vinyle and plastic, suprisingly the regular stuff looked better. Here is what I did step by step...

1. I got a bottle of alcohal and some towels and REALLY cleaned the whole dash GOOD.

2. I got newspaper and covered EVERY thing I did not want paint on, seats, carpet, windows, everything you need to cover.

3. Once the dash it totally dry, hit it with two light coats of primer, not alot, but enough to cover all of the original color. Let that dry for about an hour.

4. This is where you gotta be carefull, not you take the black, and just do it VERY lightly till it fills in, the lighter the better it sticks. Do this untill you are happy with the result and let it dry overnight, ot for a good few hours.

5. The last step it the clearcoat, I used the Dupli-Color clearcoat with the clear top, I just did one layer of clear and it came out VERY glossy, as you can see.

6. This is just a suggestion, in order for your car to ventalet, do this with the windows down, and towels covering your paint, let the paint dry with windows down in a shaded area.

Good Luck guys, as long as you take your time, you should be ok.

I'm planning to do the exact same thing soon. My ratty old interior is really starting to bug me. So's my top, but I can't really do anything about that right now.

It's kind of funny, but my sister's 04 came with the silver painted trim around the stereo from the factory. Some kind of interior package, but I couldn't find it listed on the sticker anywhere.

Seeing, smelling, and feeling that new car interior has got me inspired to whip mine into shape.
