Im looking for Black Seat Covers that would fit the seats in the pics below, well the front seats because I removed the back ones and Im Selling them. And maybe the back reclining bed, is there a place online to order stuff like that.

Also, I want to replace/recover all the grey microfiber type material with White Vinyl, where is a great place to find it cheap? And the last question is, can anyone suggest a good paint and dye to paint the wood interior black and dye some of the plastic trim black?

Any Upholstery shop supply can supply material.....dye will come off these types of fabrics because they are stain resistant....steam clean first to remove any Scotchguard type coating....

Never seen seat covers this big......usually some people use a sheepskin type facing only

I'm a big fan of JoAnn Fabric. If you look for coupons you can get enough material to do anything you want for pretty cheap. Recovering walls works much better than dye. Recovering seats is usually pretty expensive. It's probably cheaper to find seats in the color you want and then sell the ones you have. You could probably break even that way. The fabric/vinyl paint at Auto Zone works fine on plastics and as long as it's not in a scratch prone area it will be fine. Could also restain the wood with a black stain and keep the woodgrain which might be cool.

I'll echo the reply others have given. I tried a local upholstery shop, but they weren't too helpful. I spent quite a bit of $$ at JoAnn's fabric shop for headliner and overhead console fabric, batting and foam.

What you're attempting can get to be expensive (not to mention hot -- white vinyl in Vegas?) with all the changes you have in mind. Finding other seats and selling yours may be your best value considering time spent and $ outlay. Just my 0.02.

I've had good luck with SEM paints. With the plastic, it needs to be ultra clean and an adhesive enhancer like Bulldog might be a good idea too. The wood will be the easiest to sand and paint in a different color

Thanks for the reply, I have started redoing the interior, all the wood I am covering with black vinyl and all the grey felt like material is going to be white vinyl, I found a coupon for Joann Fabric and got everything 50% off. So I bought 10 yards of white vinyl and about half that amount in black vinyl. Its going pretty good so far, I will post a few pics of the progress.
