Thanks, guys...

Seats aren't that bad.. just take your time..

Door panels were a little more involved than I thought.. since you have to reuse the top portion of your old door panel, but again.. there instruction sheet on their webpage is pretty good..just take your time..

All in all, it took probably 3 or 4 solid weekends...

Good Luck to you guys doing the change.. I'm so glad I did.. after 266,000 miles... that red was really showing it's age...

Did you spray paint the dash also? Did you used the prep for the final spray die? If so does it seem like it will flake off?

Sometimes I wonder what ford was thinking when they chose red int. Looks good though man. Which reminds me I need to finish coverting mine too.

I used the SEM Soap, prep, and base coat on all the plastic pieces and the dash assy. There is a vinyl prep for the vinyl pieces like the dash pad and armrests. After it set for a day or so, I took my fingernail and scratched on the rear plastics... no flaking.

I'm sure it will need some maintenance, but that's ok with me.

Cool.
I've been thinking about a black interior. The blue is getting old.
