I've just got my new black leathers in the car, but the previous interior is all light grey...
I've decided to spraypaint all the plastic trim in the car myself to save myself from having to find a donor for these parts (thats if all the other 202's have different colour trim?)
The problem i am having is the sun visors, and the door seals. These are still light grey to match the previous interior; so my question is are there dark grey trim or black trim that would've been in the donor car for the black leathers that i could possibly find another donor for? or am i going to have to try and find a way to colour the sun visors and the door seals?

Donor cars is the only answer I could see, unless you want to buy black or grey dye and DIY.

I think the sun visors only came on tan or grey.

......dang now I know where all my money went.
I have actually tried this with the door seals, as in the rubber part that goes all the way round the door frame. DYE doesnt stay on that stuff, tried it twice with two techniques and no luck.
If the sun visors only came in tan or grey, what do you guys suggest ? :/ Because apart from them and the door seals, everything else is paint-able.
Lets see some pics of the spray job you did. Ive done this in my integra awhile back. But hesitant to do it in a mercedes
Visors only came in grey or tan? Really? That sucks. I never knew that
For the rubber part that goes around the whole door. I was thinking about wrapping them in black fabric, kinda like how the pillars

I haven't yet got round to spraying the trims buddy, its the last part of my mission. I didn't know that either, quite gutted to say the least, i need to find a plan for the visors.
Yeah, me also! But im worried about how it will last, so my first initial plan was to sew it over the top.
some pictures, for those who are interested
took everything out
and being the impatient self, i drove with just the driver seat for 2 days
after pulling out all the trims, and carpets, i put the seats in so i can taxi friends around
passenger side carpet sueded and refitted
and today i got the driver side sueded and refitted, also bought some aftermarket mercedes mats so i dont ruin the suede
