I need to recolor a lot of the inside of my MX-6, and I want to do it right. I don't mind spending more money or taking more time for something that's going to look professional.
The plastic bits will have to be painted, for sure.
What about the softer material that's on the top of the dashboard? A regular paint would just chip and crack on that.
Well yeah I guess it's only been 11 years since they stopped making the MX-6 I should be able to get the black parts.
Know of any good places to buy them that aren't going to bend my wallet over and cornhole it?
Oh they won't cornhole your wallet, they will cornhole your cornhole......
.l..o_0..l. 93 MX6 LS KLZE w/ Interprep valve srpings and DE retainers, SS headers, Cat delete, Pacesetter catback exhaust, 11lb Flywheel, and Vogtland sport springs around KYB GR2 Struts.
Car set for over a year and someone stole the CAI, nice of them. Just replaced very noisy friction gear springs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWeBUmLmAOM . Next project is to program a micro controller to convert GM MAF signal to a 0-7v signal that mimics our VAFs.

I stopped reading right there. As Stealth said, paint is the worst idea possible. Look for cars that are being parted out on here or on probe talk, check ebay occasionally and ask around. I got my car with a tan cloth interior and it took me 8 months to get all the pieces to change it over to black leather, but now nothing is cracking or fading and it looks stock, which is best case scenario. The dash will be the hardest part if there aren't any junkyards withing 20 minutes of you. Black leather seats are at a PREMIUM, so if you have some extra money spring for racing seats than are much better like some Corbeaus. Since they're cloth, you COULD run cloth with the rest of the interior which would be a lot easier to find than leather.

I would say dont paint it and look for a car thats parted out. You even buy racing seats for the front and buy all the other parting out parts except the 2 front seats. If you REALLY want to paint i have no clue how but i think it wouldnt look as nice compared to if you just bought the parted out interior. Good luck

Thanks for the contribution, surprised nobody mentioned that exact same thing before.

I'd have to say i disagree with everyone here. I redid my entire dash and paneling with paint/dye...went from tan to black and blue..looks great too...check out the link to "belle" in my sig and go to the "interior" section to see the differance....there are vynil paints out there that can do a great job if your budget is limited...redoing the whole interior cost me about $50 including the Carbon Fiber vynil wrap to do my center console...
EDIT: Pay no attention to the rear seat belts, i had left over paint and didn't know where to spary it so
