Interior painting?
I'm putting power windows in my 2nd gen with a burgundy interior. Trouble is, the only door panels I can find are from a blue-interior car. Is there a good paint that I can use for the vinyl and fabric sections (maybe 2 seperate paints?) so that I can simply paint the door to match the rest of my car's interior? Thanks in advance!

Don't use interior paint, even with plastic prep. There are a few members of my local RX-7 club that made that mistake and it cracks and flakes horribly.
If you must do a color swap on plastic or vinyl parts try to find a place that will walk you through dying them. MUCH better results, and far more permanent.
Paint will work in the short term but crap out on you long term.
Exception: use proper primer, automotive paint (sprayed in a booth), and for a gloss finish apply clear coat. And when I say automotive paint I don't mean the spray bomb you buy at Wal-Mart but the stuff they mix at a body shop.
