[azn_nite_ryder]

well folks... i found a pic of my car interior so im posting it here.... its not so clear but it shows what was done..... this pic was taken at import nites 2.... lemme know what you guys think... my seats are getting redone as we speak....http://www.montrealracing.com/2002/importnite/a-importnite052.JPG

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

Wow, looks really clean. I love it :bow:

[Accord Man]

ya very clean job..


you did it yourself??

[ShEaNy]

ya how did u do that? What paint/material did u use?

[spoogenet]

Only problem I see is the Playstation.....shoulda put in a PS2. :)

Looks good. Wanna come down to Austin and help me do mine sometime? :D

b

[Whtehnda93DXSdn]

Very nice looking...the job came out very well...

Thanks for sharing the pics.....:yes: :yes: :yes:

[ebpda9]

looks nice.

[azn_nite_ryder]

hahaha.. thanks for the comments.... and yes it is a PS1 but just today i slapped in the PS2... woo hoo.... now i'll be even more ready for the show in montreal "FULL THROTTLE... where sex and cars collide" hahaha

and yes i did do this all myself.... the stuff i use is a vinyl dye that you just rub on.... i'll get the name for you folks... i then used some clear coat to give it a nice smooth finish....

basically now i can take a pen and try to scratch the stuff off and it wont come off...:yes: now that is what makes dye better than paint...

[Grip72]

Did you remove your whole dash and everything and dye it separately or what? Also was the dye just sort of like a liquid or what? Please explain..it looks really sweet.

[azn_nite_ryder]

yea i took everything apart... the dash came off so it was easier to access the back part closer to the window... took about 20 mins to remove the dash.... as for the dye you can get 2 diff versions of it.... ona is in a can and you can spray the dye on... or you can get this wax like dye that you rub on..... its like a crayon that you kinda colour in....

since my car has been exposed everyone asked me where i got my dash done.... when they found out that i did it... ( i swear it looks professinally done) i've now been contracted to do 2 other cars ( show cars).... now the pressure is on to do a good of a job on thiers as i did on mine.....

both these cars will be showcased at darknights and full throttle...

[azn_nite_ryder]

oops.... that came out wrong... i meant my stuff is ok.. not the greatest but i have to make it better on their cars.... hahaha man i am tired....

[KwikR6]

What's the name of it man???? I want to dye mine soooo bad...but I do'nt know any brands to use. I have the money. SO that's not an issue. and sort of have the time...sooo that's not an issue. Just the right brand to use. Help meeee please.

[Violent Apathy]

Hmm, non-analog ps2 controller....ghetto. ;)

[azn_nite_ryder]

*drum roll*

the name of the stuff is made by "Xcel" vinyl colour change
i'll be posting up more pics of these other cars i've been contracted to do....
this stuff is better than paint folks... very flexible and doesnt flake off

[KwikR6]

Like I said..money is not an issue...I would rather pay for quailty then quantity...**** I hate when people go cheap with stuff. Pay for what you get right?

[2000civicexcoupe]

Can you teach me how to take my dash out? I really wanna do this to my car as well. Yours looks so amazingly phat. I have a silver so I am not exactly sure what color scheme to use. Any suggestions? Alright man, ill ride. keep up the good work.

[Civicfrenzy]

Where can u find this stuff that u used?
Thnx
By the way it looks amazing!

[ChrisCantSkate]

damn man, that looks clean as hell.

[azn_nite_ryder]

thanks for all the comments people... i'll post up the pics that i just took at the recent shows i've competed in....
and now im going to ry and attempt the seats....

but as for where you buy it.. i live in canada and i know the us and us here have different stores... so i suggest looking them up in the directories.....
but normally paint places do have them too...

[Civicfrenzy]

Im looking on the internet for the stuff. There must be a million things called Xcel

[Civicfrenzy]

Where did u buy it in Canada. I cant find it online or stores. Maybe im looking in the wrong places???

[DjFrost]

Yo man where did you find that stuff in Canada??? What is the name of the store and do they have more then one in Canada??? I live like 10 min away from Windsor, all I have to do it cross the bridge or take the tunnel.

Help me out dude am sick of lookin at my ugly interior color :)

[azn_nite_ryder]

yea theres tonnes of those stores up here.... i know there are some in windsor.... go to Canadian tire stores around there.... they'll have it for sure:yes:

[DjFrost]

What is the name of the store you went to ???

[cstrom80]

Has anyone actually found this Xcel Vinyl Colour Dye?????? If you have, someone please tell me where I can get some. Thanks guys.

[Grip72]

Did you have to sand down the vinyl or something or anything before dyeing it white? I want to dye pieces of my interior red to match my exterior color. My interior is black right now so would i have to dye it white first or what?

[azn_nite_ryder]

hmmm no ones foudn it?? k i'll take a snap of the can to show you guys...

and no you dont have to sand the vinyl down.... just really get it all clean and make sure to remove any amour all if you have some on it... it should be fine...

[DjFrost]

Hmmm nope I did not find it. Is it sold in a chain store kind of like Pep Boys in US? If it is a chain store they probably would have it in Windsor. But you never mentioned the name of the store you got it from

[azn_nite_ryder]

yea it wouldbe just as big as pep boys.... and i did mention the name.. Canadian tire.... just look up a couple of replies.... they should have it in windsor....

[DjFrost]

aight I found the site for Canadian Tire. I will call up those places and see if they have that stuff before I make a trip over the border :)

They better too or it's your A$$ lol ;)

Oh one more thing what type of surfaces does it work on?

[azn_nite_ryder]

works on all type of vinyl surfaces smooth or ruff.....LOL

[turbocivic4]

So after reading this whole post I still dont know where to get this Xcel vinyl color change dye?
I see everyone wants to know where

[DjFrost]

Blah crap I went to Canada this week with my folks, they went their way and I went my.................. well I dropped by a Canadian Tire store here in Windosor and their paint section was so small and horrible............. oh and by the way I did not find it there................ where in tha hell can I get that stuff ;)

[azn_nite_ryder]

[Kyle]

check the other posts in this thread...it says the name...

[cstrom80]

it says the name but i havent seen a post where someone's found it. i tried looking pretty hard but no luck.

[KwikR6]

Just read....Canadian tire...

[drdingo21]

the vinaly dye spray works just as well, i have used it on a couple of servers at rowk and it lookes oem.

*edit* how about this when i get my car back and if you guys help me pick out the color i will use spray vinal dye on my car since ive worked with it before and you guys can see for your self.

[Platinum_Civic]

Okay.. being everyone is talking about painting the insides.. what color(s) do you think would go well with my car... Would I get a slap on the hand if I do silver and black, or do you think I should break up the silver a little bit and go with someone more like blue/black or even a purple color?? Grrrr... so many colors to pick from really sucks.http://www.c2cimportlifestyle.com/images/personal/rachels_civic.jpg

[crxb16hybrid]

Go with purple and black and then continue that skeem into the engine ...... That would look rather sweet with that silver color for the paint..... I used the spray and it seemed to work very well ....It has been about a year since I first put it on and it hasnt plaked

[azn_nite_ryder]

alright guys sorry i havent posted the pics yet.. but i had to go buy another can just to take a pic of it.. so it'll be up guys... i'll put a topic up
thanks for your patience guys/gals

[DjFrost]

Hmmmmm look who finally spoke.....................azn_nite_ryder.

why is that?...he showed you proof that he dyed his int. And he told you what it is called and where to find it...he lives in CANADA...NOT THE USA...
he doesn't know where to find it in the USA.

[DjFrost]

Hahah silly Mobbo.

Again: Silly Mobbo

I live in Detroit, so guess what? I can travel across the bridge or the tunnel to get to Canada. They have 3 Canadian Tire stores over there. But guess what ?????? Nobody ever heard of that product and never seen it. Now I am sure that the company that makes that stuff has a site or is featured in some sort of catalogue or has a mailing address or something like that so that a customer can contact them.

But I want to see the can. ;) Oh yeah don't forget the boobies ;)

Hahah it takes me 10 min to get over to Canada oh sweet Canada ;)

[drdingo21]

not to metion i have friends in canada and they went there and couldn't find it either also its not on candian tyres web site either

[KwikR6]

LIsten guys...His car is done like that...he told you where to get it.
Maybe the moron's at Crappy tire where you went never heard of it or dont carry it...believe me....that is his car.

[DjFrost]

Hmm then how come it doesn't come up when I search the Canadian Tire website??? The can should have some kind of contact info on it or something.

[nittanys1]

grrrr wheres it at...i want to dye mine but i dunno what colo(s) to go with

[Grip72]

I couldn't find it anywhere.i went to 2 canadian tire stores around my town with NO luck..i went to paint please as well with no luck either..

[nittanys1]

i may have found something...don't everyone thank me at once:

http://www.parasolinc.com/Product_General/Display/Product_General.asp?Link=10

its not the same stuff but should still work..now if i can only find a use for that entire can....o yeah its 120 a CAN...but thats a big ol'paint can

[DjFrost]

Hmm ok nittanys1...................you need to be our test subject. Buy the dye, try it out, then tell us if it's good and show us some pics of the car. ;)

Or I might just go and get my interior professionaly done and spend extra bucks.

[nittanys1]

fif im going to pay 120 for it i might as well have it professionaly done....

NewL

[drdingo21]

thats the vinyl corlor i was talking about. i have never had it chip or flake off in 2 years.and it looks like it was done by a pro. i just painted the front of my case and it looks oem. nobody will ever be able to tell the differnce i can take some pics if you would like

[Honda530]

I can vouge for the vinyl spray pain Plastikote. Take a look at my pictures in my sign. If you like the way it looks there then thats what your going to get by spray painting it. I personally love it. There are some parts that if i would have taken my time theyd look better. But hey its my car and painted it myself for myself not for shows or anrything. I get compliments all the time.

[turbocivic4]

Any site that sells the plastikote online, BTW stock dash color black would be flat black or reg black?
Platikote site doesnt have online ordereing

[cstrom80]

I'm looking to dye my interior this weekend if anyone knows where to get it. I'm going to call them today to ask where a local authorized dealer is. I would like to know if stock black is reg black or flat black also.

[drdingo21]

i know both autozone and advancded auto parts has it. i got mine at advancded

[nittanys1]

so what parts can i spray with this plasti-Kote? and it is vinal spray not spray paint, right?


The parts im wanting to spray are the panels below the glove box all the way across the car and to the arm rest....

o yeah any help with color suggestion would be great.

[2000Pimpinex]

Interior pics look very good. I like the color that was chosen.
