Tired of the Z's Black interior? Paint It!

The problem is that the bezel is just too big. If you look at other cars that have colors in the center like that, you will find that it is always broken up rather than one huge brick of color taking up the whole console.

I've dyed several interior panels in past cars and always was super easy to scratch right off with no matter how much I prepped the panels I just had no luck. I came up with a trick the last time and I plastidipped the panel first then sprayed the interior dye over that. The plastidip had a much stronger bond to the panel than the paint did for me. and the dye grabbed on to the plastip much stronger than it did to the panel. Paint /Dye on top of plastidip causes the dip to loose much of its soft easy to peel properties. Anyway just something else to think about for those that want to change the color of their interior.

Yep yep, yours looks like it turned out perfect. But just a way I found if anyone is like me and can't seem to get the dye to stick. Been thinking about doing my lowers in red too but I have gray carpet so ehhhh… If I had black carpet I for sure go for it.
