Re: How to redo an interior

Use enamels or laquers but prime the fiberglass first. Watch out when using fiberglass in automobiles , it shrinks slowly over time and cracks/seperates especially if it is exposed to the sun.

Recondition the leather you have , it can take new dye and look brand new unless its worn.
