So I'm looking to change up my ugly tan interior and make it black with a couple choice red accents. My first inclination here is to just grab some rustoleum or the like, paint the pieces, clear coat the pieces, and then re-install. But are there any better choices on types of paint to use? I'm really wanting to only do this once, and not have to touch it up regularly

Plastic paint for the plastic, vinyl paint for the vinyl. Clean things well first.

Thanks for the reply. I know Krylon makes the Fusion series of plastic paint, but where might I find vinyl paint? And which pieces are vinyl on the interior?

I've tried the krylon fusion paint on a few different projects and I didn't like it much, didn't lay down well and doesn't cover well, I just ended up using tremclad.

The soft pieces like the dashpad are vinyl - vinyl paint will stick to it better and not crack as easily.

There is a line of plastic/vinyl/leather paints/dye called SEM paints. There are a myriad of dye colors that spray on and leave the grain visible. Prep of course is key to a fantastic result. You can YouTube SEM products.

I have been planning on changing my maroon interior to black, I am going to try using rit dye. I've watched a few videos on it and people have had really good results!

The only issue I am trying to figure out right now is having a big enough tub to soak the bigger pieces in.

Newbie with a tip.
I mix and sell paint & body supplies to body shops. My boss has 40+ years experience in the business both running a shop then as a technical rep / dealer. He is one of the most well known and respected body guys in GA.
I asked him the same thing.
Clean with laquer thinner and again with wax & grease remover. Spray with a good base coat (ie a base/clear system) with a little urethane hardener (ie, single stage hardener or even a little fast clear activator) of course you dont spray it with clearcoat... But the activator hardens up the basecoat just enough...works better than even SEM coatings, which we also sell.
