I was wondering if anyone here has painted/dyed the interior of their car...like the door panels and such...not just the center console...b/c i have a 2000 gts, got it in 99 so its almost six years old and the interior is fading cause i live in an apt with no garage; as you might know the 2000 dont have the dark gray interior like the newer models they have a light gray that has a purple hue that becomes even more aparent after sundamage...so i want to merely paint my interior black but i dont know how or what will work appropriately esp considering the texture of the panels

dang what the heck that looks really nice man. It gets me thinking how stupid or drunk toyota had to be to give us some purple interior on a sports car. Anyway, is this hard?? i never took apart my interior before.. The only thing i did was remove the console for the JDM console but that's it. Also, how do you dye it? Mukalicious, can you write up something for us cause i really want to do this! Thanks

It took me about a week to do mine cause I didn't know where all the screws were located and I had mono haha. It wasn't that bad, just time consuming... Also, it helps to know where all the screws are located and I think there are some pics of that in the gallery section, under technical.

I left my headliner alone but you can change the fabric to a different color.. the pillars and side panels were all painted at the same time and are just as easy if not easier. The hardest thing for me, was the dash removal.

Those pictures of the dyed interiors looks amazing. I think I'm going to try this once it gets warmer here. The process looks so easy. I figure the hardest part would be removing all the dash pieces and cleaning them really good. The dye is just like a spray can or can be brushed on depending on which kind you buy. A couple of light coats with some wiping between coats and that should be it. There are many different dyes, I wouldn't know which is better or the best. I would still love a write up on this, what products were used, and how you prepared the surfaces.

The hardest part for me was the dash removal but everything else was pretty easy. This is the process I did, removed pieces, cleaned, sanded, applied adhesion promoter, then I applied the Duplicolor vinyl dye (flat black). And yes I sanded inbetween coats and applied a few more coats of whatever it was that I was applying. For the dye I think I put about 5-8 coats on, just to be sure. Also, for the center console, I used the original cars color. You can buy aerosol cans of your cars color from an Automotive Sherwin Williams or you can buy them at etouchup.com. And those are decals for the AC/heat controls that I bought from [email]b0x@4sided.com.[/email] Here's a pic of "how messy" it can get.

It actually doesn't look like anything has changed but the color.. it came out perfect for me. But this is what I'm working on right now. It's going to have that fiberglass look to it. Here's two pics with flash and without. It looks better in person.

ok...well this project is takin a lot longer than expected due to bad weather, no garage and juggling work and school...but anyway here are some pics of my progress...i took them 4 days ago so i have made more progress but just in case anyone was interested here is what i used for this project (i found duplicolor was better than krylon fusion...so part of my interior is krylon and part is duplicolor but the colors are the exact same)

how do you take out that screw on the door panels where the locking switch is on? THere is a plastic piece but it doesnt seem to want to come out and i dont want to break it. Any advice, suggestions would b greatly appreciated. VBSURFER: Your interior is coming along very nicely. I cant wait to see how it turns out.

How did you manage to paint the center console blue, and keeping the dash controls (ac controls, the dial controls) without painting them? did you mask them or have them done professionally?

im still hesitant about doing this for two reasons. I mean it looks really really nice and all, especially mukalicious' interior.. but i saw a thread on team celica where he put on masking tape on the interior and it just ripped off. Imagine that happening everywhere.. and later when you sell the car, might be a problem no? Also, the main reason is, i have no clue how to take out the dash.. anyone can help me?

sorry man...its literally rained non stop the past 4 days and as i stated before i live in an apt...so that means no work on the car or painting...sorry...trust me no one wants to get this done more than i do, i am driving around to work and school with my car looking like below (see pic below)...plus you got plenty of work on your hands...you said you were doing the trunk pieces now...you could move on to the door panels next...there is already a guide online for that...the door panels is the easiest thing to take off in the car (helpful hint: when taking off the bolt protectors on the inside of the door panel...located near the side mirror...use fishing string b/c poping them off with a screwdriver is difficult and leaves harsh gashes in the door panel)

yeah it's a crazy job, I started it, but I plan on just upholstering it all now. If anyone is considering doing this job something that makes it move faster is picking up some spare plastics for the big awkward pieces, ie dashboard and backseats.

VBSUURFER: does that mean you have been driving around without a dash, speedometer, etc? That is crazy but I figure you can jus flow with traffic and no one would be the wiser. Be careful though because it still seems dangerous.
I think I will work on the door panels next but i wont b able to work on them til next weekend

well i hope the rain stop so you can finally finish up this project. Im really lookin forward to seeing your 2-tone interior. I was thinking about doing a similar color scheme but I figured I would go all black and just have some carbon fiber trim pieces.
There was this Veilside celica at the chino hills meet here in CA and it had a painted interior. Here are some pics

i like that alot...the only thing is my colors are going to be reversed for the sheer fact of reflection...white hinders your vision when looking out the windshield...although i am tryin to improve the looks i dont want to take away from its function of being a reliable daily driver by adding a bright color scheme that obscurs my vision PS...its not supposed to rain today

Looks amazing!
How many cans did you use and how many coats?
Just to get an idea of how much I should pick up.
I'm going to do the headliner in a month or so before the rest of the inside using the same stuff.
Mine's messed up anyway so it'll be practice.

$4 - for sand paper
40 - 10 black paint (rough estimate)
16 - 4 white paint (rough)
4 - 1 can adhession promoter
8 - 2 cans clear coat
2 - masking tape
7 - white vinyl to make my own door inserts
--------------------------------------------
$81
which isnt bad since a paint place wants $300 just to remove the dash...much less paint it

Okay, hope you don't mind, but could you send me the guide as well please? I've wanted to do this, but was always kinda freaked I'd screw it up something awful, so help appreciated. This job looks so nice, you'd swear it came from the factory It looks like such a nice expensive custom job. People are going to be asking who did it when they see it. Gotta be proud

yeah dont worry, i doubt anyone will completely copy you. And just think most people wont have the patience to do it all, so they will do the first half good and rush the rest.
I myself dont even have that generation celica, and if/when i do paint my interior it will most likely be a black/grey combo.
With the white, how do you go for marks and grime? is it really noticeable?
And remember imitation is the biggest form of idolisation

You posted the pics so that people can see it. And of course, people will copy you. Don't be so defensive about it. You should be flattered. You did a good job but don't sweat yourself bro.

nothing ...seriously because when i ripped it off there was some foam left on there if you know what i mean so if you just tuck the trim back in it stays in place even when you rub against it because of the friction of the foam...see i had just put it in just to see how it would look and it turned out being really sturdy so i left it

VBSURFER, are you going to attempt to dye the plastic pieces on the front seats as well?
I noticed in the pics they were not dyed.
Would it be difficult to do so, in your opinion?
I'm going to try going black or blacker on the headliner tomorrow to see if it's worth doing every gray plastic piece inside the car and trunk.

my guess would be yes...actually im pretty sure if you use the duplicolor vinyl fabric paint...on the can it says its designed for vinyls, fabrics, and CARPETS...so i imagine if it works on carpets its not gonna cause anything to loose its texture

I have a question with explanation for those with freshly dyed interiors.
A friend of mine, who's brother is in the "automobile business", dyed this friend's dash and "kick panels" black. My friend told me because of the nature of his soft dash the dye wouldn't come off regardless.
For the kick panels or door panels, etc., he said a single little bump or slight scrap would mess it up and would be easy to do because he did it.
Is this true even with some clear coat?
I read of one person having trouble getting the dye to even stick.
Would a GB for SEM vinyl dye (a better product) for the whole interior have any influence for people dying their interior? Just thought I would throw this last bit in.

well as far as the kick panels...it is true...i have had my car like this for like 2-3 weeks...and i have slid my foot across the lower panels and scuffed them...you see if you make any indention in the plastic itself its gonna turn back to the natural color because underneath the surface is more of the original color because the original parts are made entirely of a certain color in the mold process(i dont know if i am making any sense)
point is...when i had gray panels i had scuff marks, black and white, from my shoes and they would not come off so i didnt expect painting it to be any differnt...these small scuffs do not bother me at all because i expected them...but they are hardly noticeable esp when the doors are closed...and if you were going to show your car it is by far the easiest part to remove, its just held in there by clips so yank it up, paint a few coats and slap it down and your ready for show...as far as sem vinyl dye not doing that...well i have no experience with the product
sidenote: in regards to the durability of my other parts (ie, dash, etc) they have no marks on them and i treat my car as if it came that way; meaning i dont take extra precautions just because i painted it (i was quite supprise that my cupholders have not scratched or scuffed, b/c i tend to throw junk in them frequently)

Was this hard to do? I want to paint my center console but I am not really experienced in this kind of stuff. On a scale of 1 to 10 10 being the hardest, how hard was this to do? And I also wondered where you bought the paint for this?

Currently performing an experiment to tron out my celica. I wanted something nonpermanent so I opted for vinyl wrap. Bought 4D carbon fiber, chrome, and black chrome rolls on ebay. I also bought an el wire. I started with removing the radio console. That was easy and the 4D carbon fiber went on well after 4 hours fiddling (first time). Next I did the driver side door panel (two days still not perfect). I've now decided it is probably easier to do with the door panel still on. I wrapped the console in chrome and added the el wire. Not sure if vinyl is for you but this project is not done yet and I've been dying to share. ![[Linked Image from s11.postimg.org]](http://s11.postimg.org/i1hoijqhf/image.jpg) ![[Linked Image from s14.postimg.org]](http://s14.postimg.org/5sh82yi5d/image.jpg) ![[Linked Image from s30.postimg.org]](http://s30.postimg.org/v2aimy6mp/image.jpg) ![[Linked Image from s17.postimg.org]](http://s17.postimg.org/fuy7jov4v/image.jpg) Hot glue melted a bit in the sun.. ![[Linked Image from s14.postimg.org]](http://s14.postimg.org/mb4yvs5lt/image.jpg) Passengers side, normal ![[Linked Image from s28.postimg.org]](http://s28.postimg.org/wp4ex64st/image.jpg) Drivers side, chrome and black chrome (still underway) ![[Linked Image from s1.postimg.org]](http://s1.postimg.org/v24tqohcf/image.jpg) The door seems to be a lot harder because of the curves. If you do anything like this, make sure to buy 5-8 foot rolls so you have enough for mistakes. I spent a little less than $100 for all the mateirals on ebay. The 4D wrap is fantastic and really does look crazy. I've learned not to force the vinyl. Let it go where it wants to go for the best results. If you force it, it will only peel back later and create an air pocket. Make plenty of cuts where needed. A smooth finish will alway win over lots of seams. Seams can't touch a design like this. I've decided that it is worth the effort. I will keep the vinyl and continue the project. I am going to go back to sharpie out visible seam lines later. As fas as difficulty goes, I would say the black chrome is the hardest to work with. Next is the regular chrome and last is the carbon fiber.
