what parts did u want to paint? i mean you can paint the plastic just fine. just use some primer and put a couple layers of paint and clear coat and you're str8.

as for the vinyl and the leather. don't paint those. i suggest getting it dyed by using some of the kits out there on the market or getting a pro to do all the work.

one of the consequences though of getting it painted is that well, its muich harder to get back to stock especially in most cases you would have ruined the stock finish...so if you aren't sure about the look or change your mind, get ready to look for spare parts

I do recommend getting one of those dying kits for the vinyl and leather like pinoy said. And so you don't end up like sarah all pissed off about the way it came out take you time. If it starts looking weird the sand it down and retry don't just try to cover it up. But good luck with the project. I'm telling you now it's a big one if you're gonna do all the interior and not just the trim.

I took my time, but my cats kept walking across it, and messing it up, I let it dry for one hour between coats, but oh well it must be redone....I really like how it looks, it just needs to be fixed

Better lock up the cats while painting ;p

Mine came out pretty good, damn I hated that woodgrain
