Thanks for the input Mustangowner, I am sure the OP appreciates your wealth of knowledge...
Now let the adults and people who have been into Mustangs for years discuss it like gentleman!
Also, I am not a bling person, but the engine and bay will have the proper attention soon!

Ryan, I remember when you did yours. I took every bit of your advice to do mine regarding prep and all. Although mine wasn't a change of color the paint is really on there! But i did have to get a new armrest pad from MPS and it was blue and painted over that and it's fine! It won't scratch off! Also looks good when I detail it with some Lexol plastic cleaner.

I use leatrher conditioner on all my plastic and vynil. Needless to say it gives it a satin look, and not greasy at all. I was worried about the color holding up to that, and it seems fine, but for me the dye seems to wear off in "abused areas" and scratch if hit with something hard and sharp. I will be doing a black interior swap but like stated before it is a great thing for the budget minded, and can be easily repaired when the paint wears, cracks or chips!
This was all covered in the other thread. Lets not get this one covered as well shall we?As for my defense... Pretty sure you look like the returd right now because that was not my car and i CLEARLY stated that. I made that thread to show how terrible of a job that guy(Who isn't a member on here i might add) did on his atempt to paint. I'm not dumb enough to atempt that mistake.
As for the poster, good luck if you atempt it. I wouldn't, my suggestion. If done right it will look okay. If done bad, well yah... Its cheaper to paint, but as the sang goes "If its cheap, ITS CHEAP"
After looking, I find that you are only 18, thats quite appearant, but the good thing is that you still have time to focus all of your energy you're using on trying to be an internet badass on learning the proper use of the english language. Im sure if everyone had thier mommy and daddy footing the bill for them, they would agree that buying all new plastic would be the way to go. For true car enthusiasts who want to do the work themselves and take some pride in being resourceful, and doing what they can with whats available to them, the proper steps for a quality interior upgrade is what they're looking for here. Im sure you'll have some great response, but someday you'll look back and realize what a d-bag you were/are.
Indeed i will
Ha... I'm not looking to start this up again, do like the mods said. END IT
To clarify it again, YES you CAN paint it, but its not the right way nor the best way. Ha i wish, that'd be pretty sweet i might add. Unfort i've been working over 40 hours a week in highschool since i was 13. And now for between 55-60 and at a business that is doing very well to say the least. I also don't live with them anymore. Just because you don't have the money to do it, doesn't mean you can't accept that buying the panels oem black isn't the right way? I can't help that you don't have enough money, your the one that decides how much you want to make a year. And once again, i clearly stated that i was showing how terrible of a job that guy did, no where in that original post(Before you guys became teenage girls
) did i mention anybody that painted their interior black on this website nor did i critize their work.Now, since you guys talk about having such great mannors. Lets put aside the girl talk and actually answer this guys question rather then bring up a thread that was closed by Mods. I posted my answer saying it can be done but would suggest not to. Quit derailing the thread and let the guy get his Question answered.

What job is that and where do I sign up? Here's a better question... why are you still here? I thought the Elimination Council voted you off the island?
I could fight with you women all day but i rather not. Nope i'm here to stay
You can't sign up we don't like you Plus, if your not satisfied with your income, whos stopping you from getting a different job with a better income? If you want something bad enough, you'll get it. I dont know about you, but i like money. I'm done, quit wrecking all these threads you little whiny girls.
Or you might be the ones getting banned. I see somebody else already did for whining! I'm done with these threads, peace.For the Poster: If you can't afford it or plan not to spend the money on OEM black panels then you can paint it but take as much time as possible on it so you can get the best results. GOod luck.
Im not sure who your referring to, but I guarantee your not making anything close to what myself or a majority of the people on here make, not that that matters. Im not working 55-60 hours a week either. But you have all the answers, so carry on.
Again, if you reread what I said,
"For true car enthusiasts who want to do the work themselves and take some pride in being resourceful, and doing what they can with whats available to them, the proper steps for a quality interior upgrade is what they're looking for here."
No where did I say myself or anyone couldn't afford anything, I said some people take pride in putting some work into what they have to make it what they want it to be, instead of just spending money. A part of the mustang hobby is doing the work on the car.

Just let it go, the boys a spoiled baby and won't let it go no matter what argument we pose. He thinks the most money spent is the winner... whatever.

Sad sad people out there...
Once again if you want to know the right way to dye your interior I will gladly post how I did it. Whether Mustangowner agrees or thinks its looks bad or not.

bull ****. there no way you can work 40 hours a week at 13 14 or 15 or 16 or 17 years of age while in school. the most you can work is 20 hours a week....
unless you were getting paid under the table for a family owned business.
i bet your your parents are paying for all them parts you have been buying up.
