If you paint the fuzz then it will get all matted and look horrible. I too have the fuzz and want to switch my whole interior over to black. Im thinking of making a plastic insert or carbon fiber just for looks of course. Sorry if that didnt help but I too have wondered.

just replace the fuzz with Fake Leather....(easy to work with and if u mess up,its cheap so u can try again,)

I am actually right in the middle of painting my doors. They make a fabric spray paint, I'll probably be using that tomorrow. I'll post some pics when its all finished if you guys want me to.

did the carpet section go hard or is still soft? and what kind of paint did you use on the vinyl?

 

[95 Mitsu]

I originally used Krylon Fusion for only the plastic, the red parts. I used this black vinyl spray paint made by Plastic Kote, but I didnt really like the way it looked so I actually ended up using black Krylon Fusion on the vinyl. I didnt know I could use it on vinyl at first, but it came out really well, better than the actual vinyl spray.

The fabric came out really good, its a little "spikey" but its not bad. It was the easiest thing to paint. I used some black fabric spray also made by Plastic Kote for that.

Hey 95 mitsu, did you remove the bottom section of the door panel to paint it red or just leave it on and tape off the rest of the panel?

 

[95 Mitsu]

I very carefully taped it off. I stuffed the hole with newspaper and taped it like crazy. That bottom section doesnt come off without braking it.

so u painted the vinyl black?!! i thought that it was the stock factory black color?! dang....that looks good, fooled me...so was your interior color grey??? so did u paint the interior dash black too? because my new car the inteior is grey..and i want to repaint is black(or swap a whole dash)but itd be easier to just paint it i think. thanks

The dash is next on the list. I'm not sure if I'm going to paint it yet or just try to find a black one. Here is what my doors looked like before:

yeh finding the dash wouldnt be the problem, but ive heard from some guys on this site that swapping a whole dash is damn hard. but ive never done it, so i dont know. i was thinking of painting mine, but i wasnt sure if it would come out crappy.

[95 Mitsu]

The only reason I wouldnt buy a black one is to save money. If I paint my dash, I'm going to take it out to paint it so either way its coming out. If I can figure out how that is .

I can't see the pictures....

95mitsu. you did exactly the same thing that i did with my doors. except where your red is, i put blue. i need to paint my dash too but im not shure what the easyest way would be. when you figure it out can you let me know? thanx.
