Default "MOD" Red interior diy....option

So I've had my 99 FRC for a while now and it has black knee bolster and glove box but grey and black door panels....this drove me insane I looked forever for a reasonably priced setup all mod red but $500 + was to much for me to justify. So here is what i did.

Items used
1. Two cans of duplicolor vynil and fabric Red paint
2. One roll 3m 2" masking tape
3. One bottle of wax and grease remover (any brand)

This took about five hours to complete but has been done for a week or so with no peeling or scratching off.

Tip when you think its clean enough clean it again. Seems dumb but by doing so you will ensure paint sticks with no fish eyes.

Its really not hard to accomplish good results. Just clean, clean, clean take your time taping and apply paint in light coats. Like with painting anything its 90% prep 10% paint

Looks like it turned out very well. Adding some color to the interior really wakes it up.
