So Yeah i have a Brown car, and it sucks. As for most things in the interior I know i could change eaisly, but as for the headliner.....it's Vynil, and in perfect shape(As is most of the rest of the interior), but its brown. So what i need is yalls opinons on such paints and dyes for vynil, or the possibility of finding a replacement ( which i really dont want to do!). I want the Paintjob to be Ford Blue on Black, but i might just go with like a Metallic Copper just to accomdate the interior's doo doo brown. is that krylon stuff any good? any advice is appreiciated,as i searched the forum and didnt find anything on pleather...
Nothing wrong with brown interior. Brown goes with anything. I would not try to dye the headliner. Either go to the trouble of replacing it with a black one ($70.00 plus you have to remove the front and back windows), or stick with the brown...
I have two Mavericks with the do do brown interior. I love it. If you don't like it and it is good shape, I will take it off your hands and you can get the color of your choice.
Yea Nick, but then your anal and do do brown just goes with the territory. Did I mention you got my NEW visor????
krylon as in paint for the outside of the car?? no.... do not use krylon in painting the exterior of you car.....get automotive paint...and if you havent painted a car before then i would not attempt it... you will need a air compressor spray gun respirator tape paper automotive primer automotive paint.. etc
My dad's Comet originally had Avacado green interior from the factory. He changed it to black for several years and then to silver and blue. The headliner, dash, and other interior parts were painted with vynal paint both times he changed the interior color, and it looked GREAT.
We've covered dying vinyl before, but I'll stick my 2 cents in again here. You need to make sure the material is clean first. It's best to use a vinyl prep to prepare the surface to accept the dye. Otherwise, it'll possibly crack and peel. You can get this at any good body shop supply outlet. It's best to use a professionally prepared dye that you can get mixed at the same outlets. The rattle cans of dye do work, but spending a bit more and using a sprayer seems to make a big difference. I redyed the interior of the PoliceMav and used a small touch-up spray gun with my compressor. It came out exceptionally well. I bought the touch-up sprayer for $15 and it layed down the dye smooth and steadily with no runs or drips. The difference between what I did on this car with the cheap sprayer and before when I did the Stallion with rattle cans was like night and day.
