Tease...we need pics and maybe a little how to as well.

The paint is called Dupli- Color fabric and vinal dye.pull out the pillars ini the back and front.unscrew the seatbelts to get the others off.there are 4 pins on the top of the back headliner.pull those out.take off the visors and the handles above the windows and the rear view mirror. next pill the rubber peices out just a little so the head liner peice will come free.after ur head liner is free pull it out of the hatch.I used 7 cans of this paint with 2 to 3 coats of it. take ur time on the head liner and do a couple of coats and let it dry and repeat.Do this on a sunny hott non windy day.Let everything dry for a few hours and make sure all the angles are complete.Then reverse the process of taking it out to put it back in.Let me know if u need any more details.

Do the pillers just pop off? just pull from the top or what?

lookin nice and clean. i dig it. and yes pillars just pop off. make sure you remove the rubbers on the edges first.

Sorry to TJ, but what dash kit is that?

dekthai · 03-05-2007, 07:39 PM

does it smell like paint in the car? how long did u air it out?

_eE_ · 03-05-2007, 09:38 PM

what color paint? flat black?

Butts_XB · 03-06-2007, 08:05 AM

Yea its the flat black one. If u ride with ur windows down for like 3 days then the smell starts to goes away.but u dont get high or anything from it. After like a week u cant smell it anymore. Its a cheap and good mod. its preaty sweat having all black inside.

Yes just pop the top, and pull it off. It's that easy.

Butts - any issues w/ scratches or flaking paint. Did this years ago to my VW Fox Wagon and it turned out Bitchn. Nice Job
