RED_ROCKET Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 the lighter colour is unsprayed on the visor hoping to give it a few more coats see if i can get it darker. if you dont wash the carpet and just spot clean like me then yes,just start early on the saturday lol, i drove around for a few days with no carpet but this was just lack of time cheers for the nice comments peeps will post pics of the plastic trims when dry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerikbok Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Here is my real question, how does this look on a grey interior with the carpet black and the topside grey? Does it stick out or blend well, may just have to give it a go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Nice job, looks like the dye went on the visors easier than mine did Good to know it *can* be done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED_ROCKET Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Nice job, looks like the dye went on the visors easier than mine did Good to know it *can* be done its more of a dark gray certainly not black but hope to give a few extra coats see how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 its more of a dark gray certainly not black but hope to give a few extra coats see how it goes Thats how mine went, but I couldn't really get it an even colour or much past dark grey. Plus the car had a small interior fire in the past which I think damaged the fibres so the result was very uneven. Just a shame it's so hard to get hold of aero top parts!
