DIY #2: black interior

[NFR_AP2]

well its that time again folks. since the diy ctr panels (http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=156085) were such a great success, i decided to try my luck at something a bit more technical. i researched and researched for many days, coming to the conclusion, that the best product to use would be SEM's landau black. so, i decided to take the plunge. i ordered 4 cans of landau black along with SEM's plastic/vinyl prep kit and and sand-free. over the next week or so i will be removing and re-installing my interior, as i have to prep each panel very carefully, because i want this to come out PERFECT. i also, will be re-doing my headliner in black suede to compliment the rest of the interior. with that said, lets get this project underway!!!!

here is s thread that helped me ALOT, feel free to educate yourself on SEM's products.

Dang bro. Give us some updates when you can.

 

[NFR_AP2]

im going outside RIGHT NOW to start taking off some panels...i have to work at 3 today so im only gonna have time to do that, BUT i am off tomorrow

 

[enycesam]

So you're gonna drive to work with some panels missing?

 

[Bheims]

Holy sh*t that looks like alot of work, I would consider painting the panels, center console, but doing the entire dash is beyond me. Good luck thats going to look bomb...

Did this to mine. Didnt use SEM products, but I use DupliColor. Came out just as good. Taking off interior peices and putting them back in can get aggrivating, so take your time. I ended up breaking a few pieces. :

 

[NFR_AP2]

okk so i just took out some panels and they are sitting in my room, i have to get ready for work soon, so when i get home tonight i will be prepping the panels then spraying them. the newest pics will be at the bottom of the original post

sweet...I have been thinking of doing this. Hell as soon as your pics start coming up I may just order the product. I may as well as I am about to tear my interior out to replace the carpet and head liner anyway...lol.

 

[JerseyStrong]

I'm a little lost, isn't your interior already black?

I think it would bug me too much if my interior has spray paint on it.

X2

but im lookin forward to seeing how it comes out.
i have a few panels in my hatch that are spray bombed and it pisses me off. maybe ill just do what your doing instead of finding new panels.. well see...
good luck bro

 

[EK|B]

Have fun doing it!

 

[NFR_AP2]

if you guys research the product a bit...youll see why i picked this instead of 5 dollar advanced auto spray paint...

and go read that h-t thread i posted

Like he said read the thread, this stuff is more like spray dye than spray paint.

i know that sem stuff is good. we use to touch up the ridgeline beds and some bumpers i think at work.
i checked out that thread on ht too, some of those interiors came out reallly nice!
what are your plans for like the a pillar pieces and like the rear window surround pieces? all black or leave them?

 

[Sammo115]

Dude...tell us how it all goes. ive been wanting to redo my interior to. like the A pillar and the section where the seat belt holder is.

cant wait to see how they turn out.

 

[NFR_AP2]

well as far as the a-pillar, b, and c pieces....i think im just going to leave them for now....idk still deciding on if i wanna do them black. because i want to re-do my headliner...

thank you.
