Interior plastic

I was wondering how well painting interior pieces works. I have some factory black pieces I have found in the junkyard but I also have some tan original interior. Should I paint the tan pieces black and hope they are close enough to match or sit on them and wait for black pieces?

Re: Interior plastic

I think any interior piece can be painted to match, but use interior paint. It flexs better since most interior pieces are plastic or of that sort.

Re: Interior plastic

Painting plastic parts is no problem you need to take the part you are painting to a auto paint store and they can match it to you color and make sure you have the parts that you are painting clean or you will have problems

Re: Interior plastic

Also I'm redoing the entire interior black. Should I keep tan seatbelts to match tan door inserts or change them to black as well?
