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 these two picture are to answer a previous question, sorry, cant remember who asked. This is this price I was talking about that was painted with the dupli color bumper coating. Its not a gloss but its not a flat either. Would pull the jeep out into the light but my tranny is out of commission! :(
I like the way that looks. I'm almost positive I'm doing that to the panels in mine. Btw I'm the one who asked :)

Yeah, the red may be less likely to peel off when you remove the tape after painting the black if it fades out under the black instead of being cut off at a line right there.

Pull the tape off, paint your red, let it dry then mask and do the black.

tape it off. Im not very patient so I did what was faster lol. I have read up on how to go about removing the whole deal and I decided for my purposes I needed it completed in 1 day and dash back together. That just wasnt going to happen if I took the whole thing out.

The doors, speaker covers, under the steering wheel, glove box, ratio surround, and gauge surround are all very simple to remove. The rest looks like it may be a pain, but with my OCD and the fact my jeep is broke down, I think I'm going to remove it all.

So ur sayin just to remove the seats?
Oh sorry, read that wrong. Yeah to remove them there are two bolts that go through the floor, two that attack the seat to the slider (they have a spinny thing on them). Once you take those out the seat will fold forward some, there is a little lever thing, pull that and it will expose the back two bolts

Attach* rofl. They don't attack it

Dragonii is correct. Proper prep work and paint made for what our Jeeps are put through and you can't go wrong. Mine has been on there for over three years and has been abused pretty good. The only part on it that is chipping is part of the glove box and that is only because I frequently remove it and throw it on the metal floor so I can get to my FM modulator for my ipod.

Mine has withstood feet, shoes, guns, kids, dogs, mud, wind (when I have the windshield down), drowning in a river, and much more. Still looking good. Just choose your paint carefully and do your prep work and you shouldn't have a problem with it.
