I was wondering what was all involved in doing this mod. I am doing a light mod red interior. I ordered some new seat skins and other items and will make a decision on how much more red to add, the only red on the skins and other items is the stitching. Thanks for posting and explaining your process along the way. I like it alot by the way.

Thanks everyone. After three years it is holding up almost perfectly. I say almost because the driver's side speaker grill needs to be touched up due to me dragging my shoe across it about every other time I get out 
...just a small thin stripe about an inch long where I have worn through the red and the white is starting to show. A simple touch up I will handle in the Spring.

Great work and nice detail in your how to
Having recently painted many parts to match the interior of my 03 50th.
My experience was that the correct SEM paint colors did NOT match the OEM worth a damn. But the ColorBond paints were an EXACT match.

Well, five years later and it looks as good as it did right after I completed it. One exception - a little wear now showing on the speaker grille of the driver's door. This is because I keep rubbing my shoe on it getting in and out
No big deal - I will touch it up in the Spring.

As a new c5 owner, I really appreciate the details, description, part list and feedback 4XLR8N.
I have been striking out finding a matched set with the door panels, knee bolster and glove box and you've inspired me to do the same to my 'vette.
That interior is awesome and I'm going to use your directions on my own car.

You might consider a coat or two of clear over your color coat. Should help with the shoe issue ;^)
