Ended up re doing it using the dye neat and from a pressure spray bottle, got the carpets and headlining done too, massive pain but looks way better. Just the cream/beige interior plastics to sort now

Last week i picked up the new boot floor, Fun fact i got it from an R8 Rover 200 as they are the same panel. £25 not bad, So the next job was to Get all the crappy underseal off, having done this by hand which was an utter pain i did find a few pin p***k sized holes where the wheel clamp mounts to, not a massive issue as i can fill them in with weld much better than the existing civic wheel well as its pretty much knackered. On Friday last week i went to go and send off the panels i needed including a section of sill to be dipped to remove all traces of rust and to then be painted with etch primer. the bloke did a really good job and im really pleased with the outcome so the next step is to get them cut to size and fit them in the car! I will be planning on getting new Rubber Bungs for the holes alongside a new Metal Plug for the larger hole to then be properly sealed and protected so that it doesn't rot out like the usually do. More updates coming Shortly!

Fabric dye came the other day, just had a quick mess with it and think I nailed the dilution ratio for a black interior. The stuffs as black as tar so I maybe diluted it 10/1 with warm water and sprayed it on with a spray bottle. Says to dry it out with a hairdryer after but it can just sit in the garage overnight. I’ll dry the carpets and headliner though, don’t want the car getting musty, the stuff f**king stinks too so don’t really want the car smelling of it forever! Looks a little patchy on the photos but it’s taken quite well, can always do another coat after if I need to, darker too if need be ‘I am the fabric upholstery dye’
