I sprayed the carpet and door panels with dupli-color upholstery/ fabric paint.

Looks great. Sorry for the OT, but I've noticed that there are (at least) two different types of carpet. The one you have (same as mine) isn't as dense or soft as the other type, but it looks like it would take paint or dye better because of it's lack of density.

i think it looks great for a diy first time job. way better then i could do. i am just paying a buddy 500 bucks to redo a sport interior in black for me since he has been in the business for about 25 years. i had him change all the stitching to match m3 fronts and then when i find another m3 rear, i will have him redo that also

here's 98% done.

How many yards of vinyl did it take to do all the seats? I am thinking on attempting this myself but don't know how much to get.
