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.

I really wish I could have figured out how to take the main dash out to finish painting it black. but I'm happy with the result so far!
Pop out the plastic piece for the defroster vent there's 2 screws under there and another behind the ash tray then it should just pop out and there's a thread out there on how to remove the air bag cover/oh s**t handle but I'm not positive what it's called

I feel like my oh sh** handle will snap in half if anyone freaks to much.

I looked, but it says synthetic leather? Do they not get screaming hot in the summer, like leather. That's a HUGE part of why I am wanting to cover mine up...

EDIT: I'm in the south, and keep it topless most of the summer. Right now I have to keep a beach towel in there so I don't burn myself on my seats.

Yea the IGGEE seat covers get warm but not as hot as some of my old real leather seats. Im in south florida and I constantly have the doors off and safari top on but they still get alot of sun. And I have no issues with sitting right down and going where I need to go. It is possible that mine dont get as hot cause the middle is yellow but even the black edges dont seem to get as hot as I remember my old black and grey vinyl plastic stock seats.

Im guessing you have the same material as I had:


If so then you will be happy with the IGGEE ones, they are Simulated leather cause real leather isnt waterproof and is most certainly not scratch resistant. This is my DD and I take my kids to school and the dog likes to ride along sometimes. He sits in the front seat, his nails are long, and he is about 65lbs, so not a small dog lol. I have never worried about him ripping the seat covers and dirt comes off easily with a Mr. Clean magic eraser.

This was taken a couple weeks ago and the seats look perfect, couldnt ask for a better product IMHO:
