Right now my exterior is burgundy. I wanna paint the interior and get new carpeting. I wouldn't mind keeping the tan I just get dirty fast.. And also where can I get exact fit carpet? But yeah does anyone have any ideas for the plastic parts?
 
With the exact fit carpeting go here: Click Here With the plastic pieces get some duplicolor paint and prep the hell out of your plastic trim. The only way to get a flawless finish is with the proper prep work
 
I have painted a bunch of interiors but I just want something that will look good with the burgundy exterior. How would I go about sueading ( can't spell ) the door panels
 
Get some headliner glue and the suede you want. Make sure you leave about a half inch to an inch overlap to get that finished look you want.
 
On the interior trim and dash you need to clean them with a professional wax and grease remover from an automotive paint supplier or use rubbing alcohol. After cleaning use a gray Scotch Bright pad to scuff the surface followed by another cleaning. Use a tack rag to remove dust and coat with Bulldog adhesion promoter for plastics. Then you can use whatever paint you want to use designed for plastic. I would recommend a quality product from a paint specialty store for better holdout. The interior of a car gets very hot in the summer months and most cheap auto parts store paints won't hold up long.

I'm in the Auto Body field and would 100% agree with what jax said. I'm actually going to use a Sikkens single stage black for my interior. It's called Rally Black (flat black) and all you have to do is add some flex additive...:rocks:
