Khaki?? Can you post or link to pics? Are you talking about painting the fabric/seats??
Spray painting the interior will destroy all resale value (and all respect from me- just kidding). Seriously. Be patient. They do come available. Is your interior gray and beige? Mine was a sea of gray till I added black mats, black shift and brake boots, chrome rings, door handles. It helped a lot. Consider other options and you'll come out ahead. __________________

There's special "paint" to spray vinyl and plastic trim with. Pep Boys has cans of black in flat, semi-gloss, or gloss for under $10. You need to prep the area with alcohol or other solvent and 000-Steel wool or other mild abrasive. Nobody will ever know it's "painted". Or call your local upholstery guy and they'll probably do it for under $100 for the whole car. Used car dealers do this all the time to freshen up the existing color... | | | | | 11-08-2004, 02:22 AM | #5 | | Member Join Date: Oct 2003 Location: East Coast Posts: 89 |
I will sell mine. They are all black! Talk about being patient, it took me 4 years to find a set. | | | | | 12-14-2004, 03:02 AM | #6 | | Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: camp lejeune Posts: 49 |

if you are spraying it get the kit, i did it on a e30 with a german made kit, it even flexes and everything. it's not ricing as long as yui take your time and pick a color like black. | | | | | 12-14-2004, 11:20 PM | #8 | | Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: camp lejeune Posts: 49 |

What kind of paint did you use, devilddog88? how does it look compared to the real black interior? I would like doing the same thing. Any experience from anyone else would be a big help. __________________
