dyed leather from black to E46 M3 cinnamon - Page 2 - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

OrlandoBimmer · 12-17-2012, 11:10 PM

I ordered everything to do this to my tan interior... I hate tan, but I think I cannot change the seats color only, so I have to stick in repainting it tan

I love the red and black interior... Red and tan is not working.

that looks great... wonder how it will hold up over time

it should last at least 2 years like it did on my m3 before i traded it in. i'm only planning on keeping the 335i until the F32 gets all of it's 1st couple model year kinks worked out, then it'll be traded

Didn't know this was even possible and look so OEM. Great job!

Also I just moved back to sarasota, can you recommend any indy shops in the area for maintenance work?

Thanks

I like Swanson's on 301 and Tallavast. I used to live up on University Parkway, but now I live in Palmer Ranch; I haven't looked into a shop yet down in south Sarasota.

two more pics in 'ok' lighting.

can you paint door panels also?

Yes the door panels will be done soon. Cure time is approx 48hrs according to the DIY I read, but in reality it's really more of a 1-2weeks. You may use the seats, just use parchment paper to avoid contacting the surface for extended periods of time.

almost done, another couple days of cure time before taking off the parchment paper and then wet sanding to remove some of the shine

so far so good

you could do tan interior with reddish-brown seats and door inserts ala 6series grand coupe's individual interior option.
