Ideas for interior dye project
The first ones I saw were on E46's and they turned out great. There are plenty of examples floating around. Since it's been kind of dead around here lately, figured it would be fun to have a discussion. Here's an example:
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=777877 I'm a DIY kind of guy, plus I plan to keep my E92 M3 for a long long time (if not forever). I've toyed with the idea of dying my interior another color just to change things up. Our cars are so much easier to do than E46 M3's (assuming you have non extended leather) because we'd only have to do the seats and door panels. The E46 guys have to either find a new dash, or dye the bottom portion. My car is Sparkling Graphite on Bamboo Beige. I've absolutely fallen in love with this combo (I'm the 2nd owner), but thought these would look awesome as well: Cinnamon (from E46 M3, not the newer BMW's) Sakhir Orange Imola Red What color would you chose to dye your interior?

Ive never seen a sparkling graphite in person but i must say i love BB interior! I think imola red would look good but Cinnamon would look better.
I honestly think looking at the color of your car in pictures that Sakhir Orange would look absolutely gorgeous and be the best choice. Keep us posted! |

I'd have to go with Sakhir Orange, love that color. Cinnamon would be a close second. That sounds like a cool project, W. I'll be really interested to see how it turns out for you.

As a former E46 owner with cinnamon that gets my vote. Would look awesome with SG.

I looking into this UK company that does a 2 stage color change. There's also a matte clear coat put on afterwards. I was worried about how this would hold up after a couple of years, but apparently, putting a couple of layers of clear coat at the end really helps.
