Interior Respray

[johnb]

My car has been off the road for over 2 years it hasn't been attended to in about 3 months. The other day I decided to get it fixed up. I charged the battery and the car turned over fine. I cleaned out the inside with a steam cleaner and hoover but the seats and doorcard trim are really dirty so I was gonna get an upholstery spray for them my question is what colour should I do?? The car is silver and the interior is kinda dark grey. Should I stick with the orignal colour or go for something different?? Thanks

i have a silver car myself and find blue or black or even both look really good.

Upholstery spray... please don't

I did for my rear headrests, they are dead now.

Then I improved the technique and thought it over etc. and did the door card trims, with so much care and attention, and it just isn't right.. I have to get a new full interior cos I'm two headrests down and the rear door cards look ridiculous.

It's a bad idea

thats how mine are but thats manufacturer for you

im not sure on this spray or how it works, is it dye? paint?

have you not thought of seat covers? i had them in my 307 (pic on my dp), the kit does all seats and headrests. also they use something called clix, so they are designed to tear when a seat airbag deploys...i can vouch for this.

I had a look on that site you posted and I love the black and blue ones but when I had seat covers in my punto they kept coming undone and it really annoyed me I took pleasure in burning them haha

Let me know what dye you are looking at, I think I know exactly which one you have your eye on.
