Default SEM interior redo, yet again!

I went ahead and decided to completely redo all of my insides and spray everything with SEM GMC black for the seats, and SEM black landau for the plastic. I am overall very, very happy with everything back together. I also went ahead and redone all of the speakers covers and repaired all the cracks and broken tabs on the doors. I also resprayed my woodgrain and bought some new/used vents. I am just waiting on my Esplier springs to come in and my new headunit. The Panasonic must go.

Awhile back I went ahead and upgraded to 6 1/2 in the doors and 6x9's in the rear. All of the door speakers are JL Audio. I also have some subs in the rear trunk.

I also wanted to share what my car looked like before and after. All comments are welcome.

The only thing that I didnt paint was the headliner and the upper part of the grey of the dash and side trim pieces. Its kinda hard to see with the glare from the sun and the Iphone pictures. I tried some with my Nikon but they are so big, it wouldnt load them. They are by far much better pictures.

It looks outstanding.

Does it smell like fresh paint in the car all of the time?

Does it smell like paint when the car has been sitting in the sun?

The answer is NO to the wearing off on your clothes. It does smell llike paint for about 2 days, then original Lexus smell is back.

Thanks for the compliments.

I am sure it will eventully come off a little, where you get in and out of it alot on the lumbar, but I have plenty of paint for some minor touch ups. The seats have been done for 8 months now, and I have touched them up twice! Thats no big deal.

This thread is where I have finally finished doing it all, like I wanted. Thanks for the comments. I just wish I could have used a better camera. These are not doing it any justice.

It looks good! How long did it take you to paint the interior?
