Interior color change + suede

David, that link to the stang forums was pretty good thanks. I while looking at that, how hard was it to do the vanity mirrors? The mirror and the lights seem like it will be a pain to wrap. I noticed the guy with the Mustang wrapped some parts of the door and even the sides of the center console, cool stuff! I may end up doing some extra pieces like that too.
 
I wonder how it would look with the plastic on the top portion of the inside door wrapped. I never liked the fact that it was plastic instead of leather or some other fabric.
 
The headliner suede is usually stretchier and easier to contour to the curves of the headliner. You can use regular stuff, but it will be a bit harder to mold. The best way to do it is to remove the original headliner. It's not a huge deal, but on say the sunroof, if you leave the original in the new headliner will be thicker and may bind. Even though I had the original headliner removed, the suede is still thicker and I can see the track marks on my sunroof from opening/closing.

Thanks david! I think I may try the automotive suede headliner from Hancock. Not sure if you saw both of them at the store or if there is any difference or not. Nice thread and DIY too, thanks for the input! :tup:

Mind worked fine on sunroof. This was easier than the 3G wrap on my interior pieces

As far as visors I didn't use them at all. I have the card holder still in to hold my garage door opener. No grab handles or visors.
 
Good call. Didn't think about any rubbing issues with the sunroof due to thickness. David, hows your sunroof? Have enough slack since you you kept the OEM headliner intact?

Ah, do you didn't do the mirrors/visors. Ok, I guess it should be relatively easy to figure out.

Andrew just suggested doing a dynamat install while the headliner is off for extra insulation. Thinking about doing this too.
 
IMO the visors will be the hardest part. I hear they are difficult to get apart without breaking. I may get a seamstress to make a suede cover for them
 
Yes. I had black interior, but everything from base of windows up is beige (was)

Only brick has black headliner I think :-).
 
David, how many bottles of 3M 90 did you use for the whole project? The cans are huge, so I'm thinking one is more than enough? I just got back from Hancock's and got the suede for only $40! The 3M was $17 a bottle though, so I'm going to check Home Depot later.
 
David, I'm assuming you painted the rear quarter panel too? The ones with the speakers. I'm thinking of getting a little extra suede and just covering it too. First, its more uniform in look so from the A pillar all the way to the C pillar, it would be suede. Second, its less work to paint it lol.
 
The paint worked better on those 3 pieces that the rest of the stuff. Since it has a vinylish finish? I didn't consider wrapping it. You could. But it wont match the parts if the hatch that it's against. Either way the suede has to end somewhere
 
What kind of bedliner did you use too? I looked at a Rustoleum one at Home Depot and it says for metal only.

Andrew, you think Fusion will work on the seatbelt anchors too? I think its durable enough. I got satin finish. And yes, Sunday :biggrin:
