i would never paint the interior,,, it decreases the value of your car buy bucket loads and when you get older you will kick your a$$ for doing it and have to buy all new parts to replace them. I never got that fad myself.

I agree....it looks cheap but do whatever u like and good luck

well bud go for it i think it will look pretty cool and yea you can use the same paint as the car but you want to buy an adhesive that you spray on the plastic so the paint will grab

Adhesion promoter
Sandable primer
Engine Enamel (for intake, but not necessary due to lack of extreme temps)
Clearcoat
Various Sandpaper grits.
Engine degreaser or soap/water to clean intake

Should be all you need.
