92 Honda Civic Interior Ideas
Hey guys i wanna give my interior a new look and im using blue and black as my colors. What are some ideas on what i should do with my door panels and dashboard and center console. I know im gonna order new black carpet sometimes in the future and find out how to change my headliner either blue or black which ever tickels my fancy but all criticism is needed.

just leave it stock, anything you do will most likely come out worse.
cloth/vinyl will unstick and sag, paint will chip, and everything altogther will most likely look rather cheap. if you dont like the gray, look for someone selling a full black civic interior.
i have two black seats for sale, 2 months ago i had an entire interior for sale.

You can always paint your dash and everything else.
No longer do you have to fiberglass the parts to get them looking slick. You can do an entire dash from start to finish in a little over 5 hours.
If you have a DA sander and a paint gun the fiberglass effect can be made. Take out your dash and start sanding it with 80 grit, move to 180 then 300. This will take out the majority of your pits in the vinyl. Remember not to keep the sander in one place very long because the vinyl will start to get hot. Here comes the most important part. Go down to your local automotive paint store and ask for BullDog filler, they will know what you are talking about. Basically the BullDog acts like a primer but with a lot of flex agent in it. Spray 3 coats of it with a 3-5 min flash time in between each cote. Wait 5 mins to lay down your paint then add clear. In your clear you will want to add a flex agent in it. Let it dry over night then install the next day.
The great thing about the BullDog is, it fills all the 300 grit swirl marks, it helps the paint lay down smooth and you can punch the hell out of the dash and apply any amount of pressure to it and it allows the paint to flex with it. So you can push on your dash and the paint will never flake off. Here is a picture of a dash i recently did.. you can apply this to any vinyl, plastic, fiberglass and metal pieces. If you have questions let me know.
