Default custom interior?

Hey guys. is there some thing else u could do to change the color of the interior? i tried the paint but it scratches and comes right off, i was thinkin about fiber glass but thats alot of work and i herd that it'll crack a peel away. what else could i do? i remeber hearing about some dye or some thing, does that really work and how long does it last? has any one done this b4??

Eh, better off just swapping the interior for the color you want or taking it to a professional. Vinyl paints are particularly eh, and rit dye would be a royal pita to work with on all those interior pieces.

You could just sand it down and spray it with some decent paint...if thats all you want, otherwise if you want the whole interior redone, i'd call up Matts Custom Upholstery. they do awesome work at a reasonable price.

Depending on what the interior is made of you can use a dye. It lasts better than paint. You can dye your seats, and use a spray dye on the dash. That's the cheapest way out. Otherwise I would recommend trying to swap it with another vehicle.

Fiberglassing gets expensive quick. Wrapping pieces with material is an option, but this can also be expensive unless you know how to do it yourself.

For the record, I build aircraft interiors. I'm not some punk kid who doesn't know what he's talking about.
