Im using Dupli Color Vinyl & Fabric paint cans from Advanced Auto Parts. My interior was painted red when i got the car, it doesnt go with my theme so i went out today and got me 3 can's of the GRAY paint. Ill be doing my seat's with black & gray, so figured ill do gray for the dash pieces that were painted red.

It's an easy job by the way, just dont overspray on parts then you get the running, or bubbly looking paint and that just sucks. It really just throws you back a couple more minutes

^^^ not digin it but hey if you like it fine by me. i think your best bet it to recover your interior with viynl or something because without the right prep the paint will peel expecially on plastic. sem makes a nice interior paint though.

dupli color vinyl and fabric dye works good and is very flexible. also, try SEM vinyl paint. its about 10 bucks a can but is great for interior plastics. i get mine from the paint store. and they have virtually every color known to man.

Like i said, it came with the car when i bought it but yeaa i wasnt liking it either but it grew on me. Now it doesnt bother me, i went ahead and changed it to GREY so it doesnt stand out so much. Ill probably end up buying replacement pieces in the future, ive already found a few sites for this.
