When I say use the adhesive promotor, you can use this to help the actual paint to adhere to the piece you are spraying. You can use this for leather and/or all the plastic/vinyl pieces. I used this for some of the pieces, some of them, I didn't, only because I ran out. Even w/o using this, my interior still looks like these pictured, till this day. I have touched up the driver seat, of where the actual leather cracks and bends of me getting in and out of it. Overall, it still looks like new. I have never regretted using this stuff. I would recommend using a green scouring pad to roughen and then allow to dry or blow with compressed air to help speed up the process, even the leather. It will not hurt it. I also used a mild degreaser mixed 50/50 to help clean, but many have used 409. Overall use the promotor on all the pieces, if you have/buy enough. After you apply the paint, do not put any leather conditioner on it, just use a ild soap and water to clean. I hope this cleared some things/questions up for you.

To be on a safe side with the possibility of having some left over, maybe 12-15 cans. Maybe12 cans for the vinyl/plastic/carpet pieces, and 3-4 for the seats/leather components including the arm rest, steering wheel portion and center console lid. Prep is key, do slow even strokes in temperatures above 70 or the paint will look cloudy. GL. This total is not counting the adhesive promotor, maybe 2-3 cans of this. This stuff dries almost like rubbing alcohol. Very fast. Contact http://www.repaintsupply.com/cat-classic-coat1.cfm. Very fast shipping and excellent prices, cheaper than everyone out there. Like $10.50 a can for Classic Coat, etc.

I just resprayed that on my black seats, panels and they came out perfect. I then sprayed on the tan steering wheel, and it came out like it's originally died with black color. I bought a few cans on summitracing for $11.97 along with brakes with free shipping, because there's no shipping fee on order over $99. I ran out of paint, so I ordered 1 can from Oreilly and it's $15.97/can. I guess Oreilly ordered from Summit Racing and charged me for the commission. Lol.

oh yea, found another job to do to my SC. i have tan interior and really don't like it at all lol. the carpet and everything is just trash looking and i dont feel like cleaning the hell out of it and renting one of those special vaccums. this seriously looks absolutely gorgeous, i can't wait to do it to mine.my driver seat has a huge hole in it though, i don't think theres a way to fix it is there? it's like the size of a credit card. probably just need a new seat right? i'm looking for some supra seats but can't find any so we'll see, got until the summer. thank you for doing this though, it's absolutely amazing and so inspiring.

Thank you for the kind comments. For the tear, I would take it to a shop and see if they can replace that section of the seat. Then try the SEM method. This repair can be done for cheap, but if you want new leather, then it will cost you about 600 and not installed.

How did you tackle the door panels and power buttons? Mines are busted so i may just try and replace.i have my entire interior gutted besides the dash which is already black and the top where the sun roof is, also some my interior pieces are bending any advice on how to fix? I have a lot of little broken tabs so stuff is halfway on the car just looks tacky.

If the rips and tears are minor,try some SEM filler in a tube. For the plastic tabs and what nots, you will be better off looking at Jays thread in my signature. If they can't be repaired by what I have done, there are other threads out there. If you can't find any, might better off to replace the things that are broken with new/used stuff. GL.
