Red interior - Looking to convert

Hey folks,

As the title states, I'm trying to convert to a red interior (seats, carpet, plastics, headliner, etc) for my 85 TA. Open to carmine, flame, or dark red options. I know what's required, and I've been doing some searching for aftermarket options, I could piece together a red interior from aftermarket suppliers but it'd be pretty expensive.

I wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone had converted using a cheap aftermarket supplier or if anyone has red interiors they'd part with. Not picky on styles, I just love the look of the vintage red interiors. Looking for advice more than hoping for parts, so that's why this is a tech thread not a parts wanted ad; but if anyone's got the parts please let me know. Thanks in advance.

If your looking to change your interior plastics to Carmine let me know, I can supply you with a source that will mix your paint and put it in a spray can
