    What paint do you guys use to paint the interior trim pieces? I'm trying to get rid of the brown and make it a decent looking black. Not changing seats though.

    Well there are a couple of way that you can paint the interior... You can Dye it or you can paint it like your talking bout. I painted mine Black and it turned out really well. I'm not completed with all the pieces yet but i took a couple of pics so you can see what it looks like... When i painted my interior, I just used Krylon Automotive and general use paint. Cost me bout $7 a can.... here are some pic of some of the pieces that i have done...

    That looks really good. I actually found the paint for plastic and bought it. I tested it on the little piece that pops out in front of the hand brake and it looks great. Hopefully it will turn out well.

    I still need a new dash though. Mine is cracked to hell and back. :x

Post pics when you get the chance, as will i do the same lol

    How difficult will it be to dye the dash? It sounds like a pain in the ass.

    Where'd you get that, did you have to order it of the interweb? I painted the armrest lid to test the vinyl/fake leather with the paint and it is staying tacky. I don't know why the stickiness won't go away. I have a black armrest lid on the way so i didn't care about messing that up.

    if your going to use PAINT, you need to use the right one for the material or it wont stick.

    Plastic, use Krylon fusion for plastics- available everyhwere, walmart, canadian tire
    vinyl(dash) use vinyl paint, you can get it at canadian tire, pepboys
    rubber- i use plasti dip, i guess you have something similar in the US
