Plasti Dip Interior Trim

[NJ-R'sFX35]

Since the interior trim in my FX was a little old and fading i decided to give a different look. So, i got me some plastidip and went ahead and painted the center console and the door handle trim. The red interior in the BMW M3 e46 has always fascinated me so i used Red and Black just to see if i could match it. Of course, the seats would need to be done red too but, that will have to wait. So check it out:

Disassemble.


Door handle trim



Center console painted


Assembled


Shifter knob



Finish product (almost... I still have to figure how to remove the steering wheel so i can do its trim, if anyone knows how, please bless me with your knowledge)

That actually looks pretty good. How does it feel when ou touch it?

Wow that looks really good. How the durability though. Plasti dip is meant to scratch off easily

well its been a while since i did my wheels (last summer actually) and i havent had any problem with them, even when i wash my car using a powerwasher doesnt seem to affect it at all. I think is actually very durable.

Not my favorite color choice, but looks well done, nice work!

Nice work. If you ever plan on doing the seats, try the DIY black suede headliner install too. The look is fantastic!

That looks really good. Matches your seat belt clip lol

I think jumbo did something like this with the stick on pieces.

 

[angryfx]

I want to Dye the seats red, I saw a post on the g35 forums where a member did it to his car and the result was really nice.

Pretty much, yes. Only the trim on the sides of the center console has screws. Easy work:top:
