Wow thats clean, and classy too. These interior pics in this thread make me drool.


I figured their would be a lot of older blood in here considering these cars are getting older, and the oldest car I've personally owned. Nothing wrong with some younger blood though, I'd even love to slam it but I read for an 83 you have to swap rear ends from an earlier model to fit coilovers.


Nothing wrong with the 80's i just wasnt alive to experience it!


heres a pic

I find you're hate on ricers and hondas funny and ironic.
Personally, I like low powered 4cyl lightweight well handling cars, I don't know about you

Nothing wrong with a turbo (or flowing N/A) spinning behind you. New blood on the Forum is all good. Sooner or later someone will try and bust your fun calling you a "non member" -"user" but if you pay that stops and they send you a sticker...

Not saying I hate ricer. Yes I am lowering mine and throwing on a racing stripe

That's just not in my taste. It's almost as not-tasteful as flower print IMO



But, what can I say, I'm a hater. And haters gonna hate.

Back to topic.

I had a car that had an off white interior (non P car) I used a simple satin black vinyl paint. Prep work is your friend. Clean clean clean. Did I say clean? Worked like a charm, even on the softer padded vinyl on the doors. Everyone thought I changed the interior. It looked great almost 20 years later. Depending on the colour you choose, take your time, and it will turn out fine.

Is there any additive to spray after prep to give the paint a better adhesion to vinyl/plastic?

If you go with the SEM there is a adhesion enhancer product that you use after cleaning with their soap.


Quick Reply: Has anyone painted/restored their interior?
