burgundy interior swap to black interior

[orchris]

what exactly do I need to swap from burgundy to all black? I know dashes are common. but as for everything else? im trying to find pheonix red interior but that’s always gonna be rare apparently. has anyone used acura interior ? seen it in a comment. if not do we simply spray interior pieces? obviously the correct way, but does anyone has any reference pictures?

Finding a Phoenix Red DX with an intact interior in 2022 would be a windfall. You’re probably looking at a dash swap and then painting the rest of the parts.






This is a part that was painted. You have to prep the hard plastic parts by sanding them and the degreasing them. Using a black primer and then low gloss black paint typically yields a durable finish. For the soft wrapped parts like the doors, I do not have a good recommendation.

nice yeah that’s what I was looking at since most cars in my area are tan or red interior, saw a black Interior at a junkyard but it looks like it landed back in april so that’s probably all gone. what grits did you use for the sand paper? came out pretty clean .

There's auto upholstery shops that specialize in dyeing leather, vinyl and plastic. Not sure about fabric. Here in AZ there's an outfit I've used for decades called "ARC - Appearance Reconditioning Company of AZ"

I'm not sure if they're a franchise but if you search using the name a number of businesses popup using the same name with the state appended at the end. Otherwise if your serious about doing it and still can't find someone try asking at a dealer who they use. Dealers typically have one or two shops they send tradeins to for reconditioning before resale...

Hope this helps

sounds good will do , just got a dash from a junkyard so at least thats a start, was told that upholstery could be the better option instead of sourcing but im afraid the whole swap if I payed to dye would be 1000$+

For the painted parts 600-800 is probably the ideal range. 800 will provide good "tooth" for paint adhesion and won't leave a visible texture once the parts are painted, 600 can leave texture if you use it too aggressively,

That is definitely going to be a nice look.
