Looks damn close man. Regardless, my seats will be dyed so I shouldn't have to worry..

But if you're thinking of doing some touch ups, I'd say go for it. From memory and just looking at the panels, they look VERY close to oem.

I used that paint for my gauge pod and it matches the ebony plastics perfectly....even the glossiness of the finish. This is also what I used to do the speaker grills in the white car with.

Soon, bro! Probably tomorrow.. I get my car back from the tuner tomorrow morning. I'll probably rip apart what I can when I get it back. I'll make a new thread for that.

I ain't against this mod .... but please leave those to the pros ..... i did my whole interior @ home just like that ricer explained ..... hell it turned out cool ... FOR 2 DAYS ONLY !! ... i paid around 320 $$ for a whole interior colour changed ... the way to do it is take every peice out of the car ... & don't spray ... any duplicolour near you car or you will end up with a sand paper body on you car .... please think twice & it's a very delicate procedure ..... btw you might consider painting a few part's using your car's colour (use the code from driver's side door
sorry for the long speach but i hate to see u guys doing my mistake's!!

I just re did my interior from light grey cloth and black plastics to tan leather. I love it. It looks WAY better on my black dash and center console and red exterior.

I did this already.. the gray carpet does not stand out at all. For the most part, the paint covers up scratches..

DO NOT use paint on the seats like I did. If anything, DYE them. Duplicolor's stuff says it works great on seats.. It's HORRIBLE

Did you paint the steering wheel too? I was curious how well that would hold up with time & use.

Yes I painted the steering wheel. It's been holding up great actually. Everything has been (except the seats as stated). I don't get ANY paint or black on my hands after driving.

I painted my dash, dash pad, door panels, and some interior plastics. I purchased some interior plastics, headliner, carpet, and back seat from an 02 Camaro. If I had it to do again, I'd just paint all the plastics, they look awesome using SEM dye/paint! I still need to do something about my sunvisors. Ebony carpet is still too gray for my taste, as is my ebony headliner. I am so happy to have an ebony interior, finally!
