lightly sand with 400 grit, spray with flexible high build primer. sand again with 600 paper and spray with flexible satin finish bumper paint.

i have two nice sets enough for both of my cars.
last set i bought cost me $200 on ebay. they are nice but have very minor pitting which should fill in good with the sem flexible primer i bought. just wanted to make sure i am doing mine the right way.

Default progress

the old original carpet looked like crap with fading and dirt.... here it is after pressure washing and and a SEM re-dye. It isn't perfect but it is way better than using the ACC stuff. I found that the secret to doing this and making it work is to use many very light coats, just misting it on and letting it dry good. I lightly brushed it with a wire brush between coats to make sure it din't get sticky or matted.

Default interior going back in

I cleaned, prepped and re-dyed every piece of vinyl and plastic that goes in the car. Here is a pic with the dash pad, radio bracket and door panel re-installed.
