Interior Color Change

This car had it's seats replaced at some time in the past, the original interior color was brown but they put in nice black/dark gray seats.  The seats looked great, but the brown carpet and door panels clashed with the black.  Here's a picture of where I started from:


They did have small pieces of black carpet sitting in the car as an attempt to mask this issue.

After some research I decided to use vinyl and fabric paint to change the brown color to black for door panels and carpet.  Here's a door panels in process:


That's a small wire holding the pocket open so I can get the inside black.  And here's the carpet in process:


Here's the finished product, I think it turned out real good.  Time will tell how well the paint holds up.  But this cost about $35 in spray cans, a lot less than new carpets and door panels.
