Find SEM's brand spray paint. This is the best stuff to use when painting car interiors. Available at your local automotive paint shop or craft store.

Are you planning on painting the entire interior to black?

If I were I would not do it....because after a while it's going to start peeling and cracking and it's not going to look very attractive at all. I would either stick with what you got or just buy all new interior from a junkyard or someting. JMO though

ditune--it wont peel or crack if you do proper prep work. i know lots of people who painted their interiors and its been over a year without a single chip or peel.

I could vouch for that. I bought a long armrest but it was a grey colored one. I painted it black myself and it's been over a year and it's still holding up strong. Proper prep work and following manufacturer's instructions goes a long way. :thumbup:

But painting an entire interior is gonna be tedious work. It could be done, but I wouldn't want to do that much work for a color change. I'm lazy. h:

I was thinking of some day painting my interior black since it is the tan color :barf:

I don't think any USDM 4 doors came with black interiors. I know the JDM version had black, but if you swap the door pieces, the window controls are on the wrong side.

I don't know much about your interior pain either.
