Here's how far I got with painting my interior last night. I need some opinions though on sueding the inserts on the doors...

My car started out as light grey interior.

Very Sharp, are you leaving the lower dash parts light grey ?

I would do suede on the doors... So 1 vote for suede

The lower dash is going to stay factory. I am going to be wrapping the headliner, airbag, storage lid, A, B, C, and D pillars in a light-ish gray micro-suede. I think I may do the door inserts, and the speaker pods that I'm adding to them. All in all, I think I ordered 22 yards of micro-suede.

I am going to be changing out the carpet for a little darker gray, and I will have some black seats, that I'll be picking up from A&P.

Hopefully my suede gets here soon, so I can start wrapping the headliner. I'm kinda inspired by a Porsche Cayenne I had in the shop, to do the interior this way.

Looking good OrangeWhip.

Suede them, an let me know when your gonna do it, I would like to see how you do it in person, actually see how its done then tackle mine.

I am still unsure of my Spider if it can be done well enough, with the
narrow area's between the legs all the way around. Affraid of the material popping loose between the legs from constant pressure from the foam legs.
Been gun shy taking on that headliner project on still.

I wouldn't mind hanging out at my shop, and getting both of ours done one Sunday or something. Should only take a few hours. I should be getting the rest of the fabric in this week. I've got shop air, and a 24 hour convenience store right next to me. I could probably do a how-to video as well. I suck at taking pictures while I have a project in motion.

I wouldn't mine wrapping a headliner or pillars if anyone else wants providing they have it out for me, and bring the material.

I went out and took some pics at a few different places today.
These are from Fairmount Hill Cemetary, the one with the lighted clock tower I had mentioned.
I had one of my lifesized medical skeletons with me but there were at least 6 gardeners cutting the grass today so I left him Inside my panel in back.

The clocks face lights up from behind at night and it chimes tunes and gongs.
