Default Interior painting???

I've been think about painting the interior of me trans am like this picture http://community.webshots.com/photo/...756hJtGPXJmdf]
What kind of paint should I use? Should I avoid clearcoating it after, someone said it would be sticky? I guess i'm worried about the pain wearing off mainly. Any and all advise on this is welcome. Thanks

Eastwood sells some paints that are designed specifically for plastic interior parts. I've never tried the stuff myself, so I can't say how well it would hold up in the real world. I'm thinking of doing a few red "highlights" here and there my self, so I may give it a try...

Doh! didn't notice my link was bad sorry about that.

GeorgeC Thanks that helped a lot, Just spoke with them but they don't seem to have that silver color. But I did find out that Vinyl is going to be the way to go w/o clearcoat. Now just to find a place that has that silver color...

It takes a lot of work (patience) to get it right - and a good spray gun helps. I did some painting on the interior of my Silverado and it looked great.
