Tired of your interior??? CHANGE IT!

I have only had my Jeep for a short time but I have had a blast making it my own. One of the things that I did not like about it was the all black interior. It's fine when you have the top off, but if you have the top on it is kind of dark in the cab and started to feel dreary. Who wants to drive the most fun vehicle on the road while sitting in a dark, boring black hole? Reminded me of a funeral too much.
After playing around on here and meeting a few people I came across Lilyeller and his Banana Blast inspired TJ. I knew that he and I shared the "a Jeep must be FUN" concept so I used his painted interior as inspiration.

Since posting pictures of it I have been asked by several people on how to paint the plastic pieces and I know Lilyeller has been asked the same... partially because I asked him myself. lol

So I will include in this thread what I did to prep and what products I used, as well as what I learned works or doesn't work.

So this is what my interior looks like.




Next up.... proper prep. Prep is the key.

Ok, so I'm having my entire Jeep "dipped" I'd like to paint my interior to match. Do you think it's possible to find a similar pink? The Fusion colors are no where close... Just go black? I'm not cool with the "spice" color. My seats are going to be black (if they ever come in off of back order). Thanks for the help! And yes I'm aware my hood is still white- waiting for the new one ;)

Got a lot going at the moment but since we had the jeep broken down for a bedliner mod, we decided to paint the dash panel. I used the dupli-color vinyl and fabric paint based on a diff write up we followed. I am not going to remove all the paint at this time and reaping with krylon...we'll have to wait and see how we'll it adheres.

I'll post some more pics when we get it put back in with the bedliner.

You guys are going to love the difference! Just be sure to prep well! Scrub clean and wipe down w/ light acetone to remove any oils, so the paint will adhere best. Be sure to read the first 4-5 pages of this thread and follow the advice!

It takes a long time, but it's really worth it. When you're done, hit me up for the cherry on top - a custom shift boot to match your new paint job!

Put the TJ back together after lining the tub and painting the dash.

I made few mods and may decide to leave the center console out for awhile or just get an after market one
That looks awesome man. I have the green exterior color and I am going to line my tub here soon. What brand of liner did you use? Looking at maybe doing a color like that to add more character than plain black.
