black interior...no more gray
So i decided to do the DIY black center dash on NASIOC. But i also wasn't a fan of the other gray areas like the a-pillars, the rear plastic in the hatch area, or the seat belt pilars. So i manned up and took off everything. NASIOC recommended using a paint called "plasti-dip" It's about 5 bucks a can. The only prep work required was taking everything out and cleaning it with rubbing alcohol and taping over what doesn't need to be painted. All in all, to do everything it took 7 hours. So props to Jake "projekblubook" and another guy Dave with a Leggy GT for helping me. The pics aren't that great cause i used my wife's camera phone cause i lost my camera cord, so enjoy. I should be at the next meet, unless my wife is squeezing out son if you wanna take a closer look then.

i've been wanting to do this for a long time, but didn't know if it was possible. is there a pic of the paint you used for the pillars and how would i go about as changing my headliner to black.
ever since i sat in my friend's black 20th aniv GTI, i've fallen inlove with the black headliner!
