Does anyone have any information on the cheapest way to redo the inside interior of my car. I am in the process of painting it to the Winning Blue Mica color like the Mazda 3 but the inside is going to throw it off. Any suggestions? Or should I just leave it the Gold (12M) Color?

Do you have any pictures that you can show me?
Also I am trying to decide if I should paint the outside of my car when I get it repaired. It is the Goldish/Tan Color. I can't seem to figure out what color to do the inside with that color on the outside. Any suggestions?http://www.cardomain.com/id/mazda99protege

There's this stuff in australia called "auto dye" or somethign like that. Its not a paint but a dye that you soak the parts in. it works alot more effective than paint because the color sinks into the plastic, unlike paint where it can chip off. The other benifit of auto dye is that you still have the surface finish that the car originally had. Whereas with paint it smooths everything out but also leaves a tacky finish.Diary of a nerd;
A life? Cool! Where can i download one of those from?

Well what i used for everything was a vinyl dye. It still came in a can but it was made for vinyl and it had flex built into it. With many clearcoat layers applied it holds up like a champ. And you can still easily tell what the original surface looks like. Although on a couple of spots like handles I used a ton of primer to give it a completely smooth look and remove those ****ty little dimples.

How do you go about recovering the doors? What would be the easiest way to do it yourself? Is the 1999 Protege Door on big piece or does it come apart?
Also I have decided to paint my car Blue.
That is the color Blue I am going to do.http://www.cardomain.com/id/mazda99protege
