Was there a theme here? I thought your car was already running. It ran in the video, what happened to it?
not personal problems. Save that stuff for the "Off Topic" forum, or conversations with friends

Red Crushed Velvet? You could probably find a cool red steering wheel off an '82 Oldsmobile that would really top it off! 
Seriously, where would you use red crushed velvet in a Benz? I can't picture it. I don't think you could find crushed velvet anywhere in Germany except maybe großmutter's drapes. But then, I like things pretty much stock so that's just me.

Rio, you do provide interesting posts seeing these snotty cars from a different view. We need to be reminded of artistic not practical vision for our cars. How about the guys that "painted" their Mavericks and Gremlins by gluing down green Astro-Turf? They had the calling you share. Ah, the 70's.
Red Velvet is fine if you or your buds don't smoke. Dropping a cig on velvet is not a good thing at 70mph.
About that paint though, gallons should be quarts. The paint guy will be delighted to sell you a couple gallons but you may point out you're painting a sedan not a ship.
I'm glad to know the car is comfy if I ever need to sleep in her. Thanks for the tip and don't let our wives know.

^ You seriously want an answer to that?
You didn't shower did you, Rio...
JK!
I admire your aspirations for your car. I have no motivation to work that hard any more. The red velvet will look good in the center of the seats. I was picturing a Buick when you first mentioned it!

lots of cars
hey, get off his back! I'm sure that west coast customs will do a very nice job with that crushed red velvet.
Pshhh I still have Louis Vuitton that i haven't taken off the headliner because i'm lazy. I still think the ultrasuede looks good on the back of my seats. If you read my early posts i was once like him but now i'm going to be 24 and a lot has changed. I'm sure he will have a very nice car in 3 more years....
How can i forget about my marble center console...
