For realSuede would be dope! Mine are probably gonna stay shit spray paint since I can't find any thing to properly wrap the pillars in suede... just the headliner
I want to do a cupra lip below a volvo lip, but i'm having a hard time finding a volvo lip for a decent price... lol
We need a chat function on this site
How are you gonna attach the cupra lip to the volvo lol it's just a flat piece on the bottom isn't it

I'll find a way, maybe some super sweet JDM zip-ties!
I did mine a little while ago. One of the best things I've done. It came out great because of the paint I used- Color Coat by Semsproducts.com in Landau Black. It's a perfect match for the 04-05 EP's, but it's a little too dark for the 02-03's.Looks nice!I thought about doing a similar project in my car, but I've decided I'm gonna black out everything interior
I even did the OEM radio's faceplate- quick had a huge crack on it before I epoxied it.

Next up:
Dying or re-wrapping my headliner and painting every other piece of plastic: visors, seat belt guides, "oh shit handles", dome light bezels/switches, sunroof handle/switches/plug...
I was thinking about wrapping the pillar plastics, but since I park in the sun all the time, I'm worried they'll fade too easily. It wouldn't hurt to try it if I have enough extra material left over from the headliner though.
Might end up with a black EP2 cluster even.All-black FTMFW!
Looks good from what I can see? Gonna paint the handle garnishs and lock switch?
I was a little worried about it holding up, but with the paint I used, I can pick at it with my fingernail and it won't even hairline-scratch it.
What paint/color did you use?
I painted my old ones, but they were too glossy for my taste. I'm grateful that I was able to trade'em straight-up for some non-painted ones to a homie who was getting rid of his EP.
Yours looks awesome! How expensive was that paint?! It's definitely a nice color, not too glossy. I'm not too worried about repainting the dash/door handles over and over again. But I don't want to repaint anything else more than once(handles, locks, headliner trim). When I find something I really like I'm gonna use clear-coat to get some paint protection.I did mine a little while ago. One of the best things I've done.

Hey OP! What kind of material did you use to wrap your door inserts? I like it
I think I used krylon. 100% match. Looks totally oem.
Thanks man! I'm liking the offset black more and more everyday. It flows good with a lot of stuff, like the cruise control switches, side mirror switches, etc.
Like I said, I used Color Coat by Semsproducts.com in Landau Black. I got it at a "mom and pop shop" for $15.00, after tax. The can goes quite a way and is SUPER EASY to use. Anyone can paint like a pro with it! Although it goes on rough, it mends together right before your eyes. When spraying it upside down, to clean the can between layers, the big runs I purposely sprayed on the cardboard box, weren't even noticeable to the touch. Crazy stuff! WELL WORTH a few extra bucks! It feels as strong as the OEM silver finish. No joke!
Forgot this was already on my phone:
It was recommended to me and I've been ecstatic about it's quality since I did it, as you can see. I whore it out on a regular basis. There's no need to clearcoat it AT ALL, but check out their line of clearcoats/colors.

Hellllllllllll yeah! He knows what it is I'm lookin for! I hope you made this just for me
I'm definitely gonna have to source some if my krylon paint doesn't work out! I like the flat black I'm working with though, it fills in a rough sanded area really well and gets a lot of imperfections out, sounds like the paint you've got does all that and more though! Good shit.
It's MAGICAL!
I wouldn't bother with the Krylon. I'd dave yourself the time by going with what's guaranteed to work the 1st time.
You might be surprised how close to home you'll be able to find it too, but IDK... They sell all kinds of flatter blacks.
interior looks good tommy...
Thank you sir! I'm loving it!Can't wait to do the rest!
