Changing Red Interior accents

I bought my SR5 for a good price but it came with the red accent panels on the interior. I wanted to see if anyone found a way to change it without breaking the accent panels off. I was a video where a guy reupholster it but he had to essentially break off the panel then glue it back on.

 

where are you located? might be easier to find someone to swap with

 

I'm in Tampa

 

Did you ever figure this out? My truck just got delivered and it has the red inserts. What design engineer thought that was a good idea? They are atrocious!

 

No, I’ve just kinda accepted it. I might go to a local upholstery place one day and see what they would charge.

 

You might consider

$13 Dupli-Color HVP106 Vinyl and Fabric Coating Spray Paint - Flat Black - 11 oz Aerosol Can

fabric spray.

 

Wish I new a good way to change my red accents as well on the SR5. It’s the only thing I wasn’t 100% on when I got the truck. It’s grown on me a bit, but I’d prefer it black.

I’d be scared to use the above vinyl spray and mess up/regret it. Saw a thread in the past where someone had the pieces dyed black by a shop. May be an option to consider.

 

I masked off around the door panels and used 2 products by SEM. First, a Vinyl & Plastic Prep Spray followed by their spray paint (believe its name Color Fast…something like that). Have had no deterioration of the color at all in 2 years.

The panel above the glove box is easily removable so you can do it without masking it off. It pops out a bit and there are 2 small screws to remove- one on left side the other at bottom right.

another option would be to order Katzkin leather in a matching red to your door panels and change to leather seats.

That’s what I did. Changed my door panel color from gray to Katzkin Cardinal Red.

 

i love it
