anyways i got my hands on a digital copy of a helms service manual so im going to remove my whole interior and carpets so my questions is

1) where can i get black vinyl paint?

2) how do i remove the front pillar trims and the side trims?

3) how do i remove the rear seats so i can get to the carpet or am i stuck with unbolting everything?

4) how do i remove the door panels and the fabric inserts on them?

5) where can i get black carpet dye?

so far i got the rear dash panels and the bottom half of my dash board and im trying to fix a crack in one of my panels with some body filler just having a bit of trouble with the other stuff

for the seats.. you have to unbolt everything.. well that is what I did.. The inserts. I'm not sure.. my shop did them for me and I bought some vinyl paint from home hardware which works really well I can't remember the name..

A pillars are on clips, be careful when prying, useually you will only break one if your lucky,

The door skins: unscrew the screws in the bezel around the handle and unplug it, same with the window switches. take off the speaker cover, take screws out of the speaker and unplug, then screws out around the speaker area.

Begin to slowly pry the bottom and the clips will start to pop off, coming to the top you will have to lift the door skin up and twist so it clears the tweeters.

The seats: need to be unbolted, center concole needs to come out and also the kick panels need to come out in order to get the carpet out. Its really just a matter of finding the bolts/ screws and taking them out.

im having an INSANE amount of trouble with the front 2 seat belts do i need an impact wrench to take em out i tried doing it manually but it didnt seem as if anything happened and on the top of the seat belt how do i expose the bolt?

also what fuse should i pull out so that my airbags dont kill me by accident

so far all i need to take out is the dashboard and everything that is restricted by the seat belts (window frames and side trims)

just disconect the battery and let the car drain for a half hour for safe measure. Use some muscle, and the top of the seat belt? like on the B pillar, or the actual buckle?

there should be a plug connected to your airbag behind your steering wheel. as far as the seats try and use a torque bar. i have one at home if you want to use it.

Kk gotcha but I'm talking about the bolt at the top of the pillar

That top bolt is a 14mm socket and torque'd down to 24 lbs-ft, so you will have to try harder. And remember when you put it back on to use some liquid thread lock.

okay so i started painting the bottom and it looks nice but i tried getting my door panel off and it started to tear so im just going to paint with the door on im not really afraid of over spray cuz the seats and floor is taped off but the fabric in the door is bothering me

is there any way i can dye the fabric to black with a spray or cream

would it be possible to use HEAVILY diluted paint and spray it on? (im talking like 8 parts water 1 part paint)

EDIT: figured out dupicolour has a vinyl AND fabric paint
