no he wants to direct connect with you. hahahahahaah

anyway.. back to the thread. VHT paint is sold at premier auto part stores. i dont mean kragens or pepboys, stores that are a step above, they sell muscle car stuff and aftermarket seats and such but still sell everything kragens does.. if taht makes sense..

You can get the paint at summitracing.com

type in VHT plastic paint in the search and it'll come right up

If you can get it locally, that'll be better because summitracing charges an arm and a leg for shipping. I bought 2 cans for $20 but the shipping was $11 for UPS ground

Modification to the bin and pictures of the interior installed:











Good stuff

The only thing I don't like is that the vinyl on the center console is much shinier than the painted plastics.

After the paint is fully dry, wipe it down with some Armor All. That should make it shine a bit and protect it.

armor all = gay

it looks good but its all greasy and leaves deposits over time. not to mention its not so great for flat painted surfaces.

Just tint your windows, that will give you a 99% uv block is looks alot cooler than a uv spray

In 6-12 months, drag this thread back up and lets us know how it's holding up

I will have some updates later. I had to pull out the bin in and out at least 3-4 times. I also threw stuff on the bins (Tool box, radiator bottle, etc) on purpose to see how the paint would hold.

Yes, you can. Malloy Mazda is right down the street from me. Let me tell you one thing though, new stock black interior pieces are not cheap! If I had the money, I'd definitely redo my whole interior with new parts.

I would have waited at least a week or more before putting on the UV protectant. If you want better stuff then that oil based armour all, get 303 protectant. You will never use anything else after using it.

i did this to my door panels, headliner, kick panels, scuff panels, and i am about to do it to some tan interior 1/4 panels i just bought. i used the duplicolor "flat black" interior paint. it matches the dash and the stock black plastic pieces perfectly. i did it about 6 months ago. i would recommend using the flatblack duplicolor interior paint because it isnt all shiny like most interior paint, and it matches the stock black stuff perfectly.


just a word of warning: the interior parts that see the most "action" like the driver side door and the scuff panels will get beat up. my drivers side door panel has a spot (where i rest my elbow) where the black has slightly worn off. the passenger side door is perfect though.

bottom line, if you daily drive your FD like i do, i'd just buy an original black drivers door panel (or both), and black scuff plates, and paint the rest.
