changing interior color of my eclipse

[eclipsechic]

hey, does anybody know a good way to change the interior color of a car??? At the moment my dash is black and the rest is beige and it looks really ugly. we bought the car like that and its been bugging me for months now! i want to make it all black but i dont want to buy all new paneling for the car cuz that would be pretty expensive! and im working on a budget lol for the time being anyway. could i remove all the pieces and paint it my color of choice? if so what kind of paint would be sufficient so it doesnt crack or peel?? ive read around that airbrushing works really well, how much do they tend to run? also could i change the carpet myself or would that require somebody elses handywork? and one more thing where can i buy black seatbelts so im not stuck with beige ones lol...anything anyone knows will be great i wanna start from the inside out to make my dream car! thanks in advance

1g or 2g? im parting out a 93 eclipse with a black/gray interior

[clipsekid99]

you can always just paint it black. look on my website in the interior section at my painted interior. i had Maaco do it cause i screwed it up the first time lol

thanks for the help, i found a paint dealer around my town and im headed there now, on the phone he said he can tell me exactly what to do...1stgenrocks im sorry but i have no idea what 1g or 2g is...lol its a 99??? are all interiors the same even in 93??? how much would you ask for?? ---blackshadow thats exactly what the inside of my car looks like

[clipsekid99]

1g = 90-94
2g = 95-99
3g = 00-04

the 1g interior panels are different than the 2g

yo clipsekid99, how much did it cost you to paint the interiors?

[clipsekid99]

it was around $450 for both whole doors, and all panels under dash on both sides. it was that much cause they had to fix what i did, so im guessin it would be alot cheaper than that lol

if this helps - my friend recently bought a 97 GST and his interior was done up...the kid who owned it before him did it himself by using MODEL paint....like the kind of stuff you can pick up at wal-mart...i believe he used the model paint in a spray can. he painted all of the parts with 20 layers of paint and it looks AWESOME.

as long as you prep it right almost any paint should work. just clean it really well to get rid of any fingerprints, dust, armor all, etc.
