Nice, i would recommend killing the gray and getting black carpet etc, got some question tho

-what did you use to paint every thing? spray? brand?
-did you prime first?
-does the painted stuff keep the original texture of the plastic?
-did you pull out the piece of platic or mask them off?

im thinking of converting my gray interior to black

I dont care to hide my stuff. First of all I live in a real nice part of New York. And secondly I'm willing to kill anyone who comes near my car with under handed intentions.

As far as how I did it, to answer some questions. I used liquitex acrylic enamel its called glossies. I spray thruogh an Iwata airbrush. You dont need to prime and it does retain the original texture of the plastic. As far as masking most of the stuff was pulled out and then painted. I should post some pics of my friends mitsubishi eclipse. I re-did his whole interior yellow! BTW I would'nt recommend trying to paint on the plastic unless you know exactly how to use an airbrush and you are familiar with the characteristics of paint.
