    Haha thanks man. I can’t wait to post before and after pics so you can see the quality of the old carpet. I don’t know why the previous owners would change the carpet with a car that had less than 50k. Beats me.. But so glad to bring it back to life!

    This was scary and so glad I did it myself. Hopefully the results last, but I’m super happy with the paint job.

    Items used:
    - Dupli•Color Prep Spray (greese and wax remover) [1 can].
    - Dupli•Color Flat Black Vinyl & Fabric Spray Pain [2 cans].
    - Wish I would have used an adhesion promotor.. Maybe next time if it flakes (crossing my fingers it won’t).

    Steps:
    - Tapped off red pieces of dash.
    - Cleaned dash with microfiber towel and hot water.
    - Cleaned dash with Dupli•Color prep spray (sprayed on microfiber towel and wiped dash).
    - 3 light coats of Dupli•Color flat black spray paint in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal directions.
    - 3 heavy coats with 10-15min in between.
    - Let it dry for 30mins and then removed masking tape.
    Done!

    Results:
    - 9/10
    - I am happy with the color of the paint. It looks OEM stock.
    - I am still on the fence of leather wrapping it due to style reasons.
    - Overall, very happy for now.
    - Will update if it flakes.
