Changing interior e.g. seating/dash boards....

[easy p]

Hi guys,

Got a new clio campus on the way, all the seating and dashboard/plastics etc are grey. I was just wondering if anyone could offer any suggestions on if or how i could change it all to mostly black?
I have seen the spray paint for the plastics but someone has told me its shite? also i have seen a mate with seat covers in his car but they looked pretty naff aswell, or can you get some good ones??

cheers

My plan is to cover it in fabric (crushed velvet and silk maybe? :approve: ) just spray mounting it onto the surfaces to keep it flush with the plastic. This way when I can come to sell it, I can either sell it modified, or if not takers, rip it back to factory grey. Also means it'll have a nicer feel... although I may need to invest in a fire extinguisher.

Do you know how difficult covering a dash is in material..
This one is covered in black nappa leather and red alacantara - totally seemless..
Its one of the most expensive mods we do..

Good luck..

True. But I've some similar projects (well, not cars) so as long as I use a fabric with enough stretch in it to cover my mistakes, it should be alright. I'm not going for a perfect one piece job either, so I'll just cover the seams with a bit of cord piping.... yes it will look like a boat.

Colour scheme... red and gold. Classy :rasp:

every thing comes off easy apart from the dam bit they pop riveted on( main part of the dash) so for this bit i sprayed in the car. ( i looked high as a Crack head when i got outa that car )
