New Interior

I have the tan leather seats in my car, but I wanna do a whole new black interior... Whats the best way of going about this? I dont have access to sanders or any tools besides the basics (pliers, screwdrivers, wire cutters, all the good stuff lol...) How the hell do i do this?!

You have one of two options:

(1) Remove all interior panels and use spray adhesive to apply a vinyl covering to the desierd panels.

(2) Using a air-supplied angled dsice grinder, sand down the finish on the OEM panels. Use body filler to fill in any pits, sand again, then paint to the desired color using paint or a spray dye.

Sorry, you're left with presious little other options outside of these or buying the parts individually.

The leather on my seats are tearing.. Looks like a ****box so I know im gonna have to get black leather covers.. But I mean, theres no way around that. With everything else.. I'm gonna need a little holding hands walk through because I hate messing with the car lol..

Anyway, I think im gonna do that vinyl spray thing.. But what is OEM? And how much does the black vinyl spray go for... Also, how many coats do you reccomend, drying time, finish, etc.?

Thanks A lot
