I have been running the idea of painting a few of the interior pieces of my car, and was curious to see if anyone one else here as done it as well. If so pictures would be greatly apreciated, and i will put up a photoshop of what I would like to do ASAP.

I just painted all my red plastics to black. They came out like the pics posted above, i was extremely impressed.
I used the Dupli Color cloth/vinyl/plastic "gloss black" spraypaint. Just do good prep and you'll be fine.

Go yo your local auto paint store and get SEM auto interior paint. It's flexible and dries hard. Some plastic paint dries nice until you leave it out in the sun with the windows rolled up and it gets hot and the paint gets sticky again.

Ya you should run down to your local GM dealer and pick up some replacement panels. Sheesh what a dumbass what are you supposed to do if you want to change colors buy someone elses junk that is probably worse than what you have. Theres not a hole lot of options if you want to change. Do you know how much a set of junkyard all black panels sale for around 150-250 and thats without door panels,seat belts or seats. Then since everything is big shipping is around 100 then buy the door panels,seat belts and seats wow you spent a grand easy. Hey and for your info i didnt paint anything i used spray dye on everything there is a difference. Spray paint probably would not be the best thing.

I just started painting my interior plastics. I'm using DupliColor Textured Metallic paint and it looks great. This stuff is pretty durable too. I also plan on clearing all the pieces for a little more protection. I cleaned all parts with laquer thinner and am very pleased with the results. I'll get some pics up as soon as I find my camera.

Well i went and bought a big can of wax and grease remover to prep all of the surfaces. Then i used krylon fusion on all the plastics and did light coats and built up the layers. Then i used dupli color vinyl and fabric dye on the door panels and the carpet.
The headliner and the sail panels i went to the fabric store and bought materials and redid them.

I've been thinking about redoing my interior also, but keep the original color. This topic has been talked about so much on this board, but I think painting is a bad idea. This is just my opinion, and while it might look good after you do it, I don't think it will hold up for the long term. I've heard of people going 2 years after painting their interior and it still looks good. That may be true but how will it look 5 or 10 years later?? Especially with alot of wear and tear. Also my big concern is cleaning products. After cleaning the interior over and over I'm sure the cleaning products will take their toll on the paint. I've heard a lot of bad things about Krylon fusion, especially when the interior gets hot. This is true with any paint...heat is bad for it. Alot of people say it is a really good product. I personally won't take that chance, but that is just me. I think the best thing to do would be to re-dye the plastic pieces. I think it looks better and it holds up alot better than paint.

I didn't change color, but I sprayed all my black interior pieces with SEM trim black. They came out great, makes everything like new. Arm rests, dash, A pillars, Door handles ETC... looks like new. Sprayed my manual shift plate and used Lincoln brand shoe polish on the leather boot, results were awsome.

i doubt if done right the paint will even get messed up after 5-10 if taken care of...
Im gonna do it myself once my car is back from the shop...if it works, its works if not then ill strip them all back down or just buy black panels...painting them sounds ALOT cheaper right now so im gonna try it and find out

There is actually a fabric spray paint out now called simply spray, you can get it at fabricspraypaint.com. I havent tried it yet but it looks as if it might work well. I can also get this stuff at almost half price if anyone is interested let me know.
