If you paint your car's interior or sand it or do anything like that... FIRST buy all new interior parts (as far as what you want to paint I mean). That way you still have a complete matching interior for when/if you want to swap back to a more stock look.
Finding the differnt parts in different colors or colors you don't want will be easier than finding all matching parts in the color you want. So get the mismatched parts and paint those instead.

j.k
As to the interior questions, please don't paint. It doesn't look as good as stock. If you wanna be creative change the color of your dash, door panels and plastics by switch them over to black or another stock looking color. Or, change the carpet colors, your seats for example, get s**t redone, just don't paint. ekk..
i would never paint my civics dash or any part for that matter if you want a diff color get the new pieces in that color painting it just looks taky and is very easy to chip away and your car will smell like the paint you used for the longest time if your looking to do anythng swap dash\boards or somthing please do not paint it

Well one little thing i did on the interior of my car was i found an old civic badge and cleaned it up all nice and neat then took some adheasive and glued it to the dash in the big blank spot right above the glove box. IMO it turned out pretty good as long as you dont get adhesive everywhere. but thats just an idea. as for painting the interior, i wouldnt do it. ive never seen anything good come of painted interior.
if you really wanna mod your interior, just send me all the parts and i will paint them camo for you that way when someone sees how ridiculous it looks you wont be visible becasue you will be hidden in your ghetto painted car! seriously dont paint the interior, it will end up chipping and look worse with the original color showing through but thats just my $.02 worth!
Um believe that has been covered a month ago you old post troll.retoddid06 said:
painting needs to be done in accordance with the rest of your car, and if done correctly, painting will look great. but the only way to acheive the great is by fiberglassing, sanding, smoothing, and then painting it. dont just spray the plastic pieces or what everybody said, will become true!
Ok ill speak for myself, I did it, and I CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP! everynight! I painted the interior black, spent 100's of hours and dollars prepping and painting to perfection. I tried to mod the interior in every way, including fiberglass, carbon fiber, ripping out the center console and putting TV in there.
I am spending hundreds trying to get a stock interior back, or just sell my EFFING CAR NOW, but nobody will buy it. DUDE you will cry and cry and cry if you do this. Ive been fighting this battle for 2 years now, and still am depressed. My girl says it embarrasing. DO NOT! paint the interior or modify it in ANY way, unless you get str8t honda parts that match, and maybe some bride seats. THATS IT!
IMO, if you get anything "real" carbon fiber, i think that looks the best, like a carbon fiber headliner.

just wrap the whole interior in gucci.
Dont paint, just do minor mods, like this.
Redo the door panels and armrest in red to match seats
Custom carbon fiber NAWZ panel for your juice
and a custom gauge panel for more "gay-jiz" in place of your cup holders. I still need to cut the holes for the "gay-jiz." Oh yeah, and the S2000 starter button. A must have....well not really, but I thought it was cool. LOL

is that starter button hooked up..?
f**k interior painting up its ass. you WILL hate it, maybe not at first cuz you'll be all like... "check out my sweet-ass interior paint dawgz!!!!!!!!!!" but you will be so high from the paint fumes that linger in your car forever after you've done it, you wont realize how gay it is right away... just skip the ricer phase, please. i still hate myself for ever have painting my entire interior white. but i put all new (stock) black GSR interior back in its place. take it from people who know, its highly reccommended that you put down the spraypaint cans right now and back away slowly.
