The only thing I haven't thought of yet is the carpet... Maybe to husky liners may do something else... Don't know yet
Nice mine is a low budget build so i used spray carpet dye and its holding up pretty good but my truck isnt my priority so if your truck is your "baby" i would buy a molded carpet or something like that. The headliner was pretty easy on mine remove fabric and sanded all the foam carefully. Im sure theres a better way to remove the glues on foam but this took me 5 min and worked for me, then positioned the fabric where i wanted it folded half back spray headliner glue on both the fabric and boared let it tack up a bit and sloly unrolled the fabric on while massaging all the wrinkles out, had my little brother and my dad hold the fabric while i worked it and it turned out good!!

Mines pretty low budget too, the duplicolor was only a few bucks at autozone and I've used 2 maaaaybe 3 cans. Thanks for the tip headliner tips! I can't decide if I want to do black headliner or something else so that's my hold up. Yeah I thought about a molded plastic carpet like you'd find in a jeep to make cleaning easier but I don't know if I want to spend the money on it cz I'm trying to cut back on spending lol

Thanks I appreciate it! Yeah my love of black interior overrode my hesitations of painting the interior. I really wanted to get rid of the grey! I was worried about the longevity but figured what the hell I'll give it a shot this time and I'll either learn a lesson or be happy... So far I'm happy! Not going to lie sometimes I still worry about it but so far so good.

SEM color coat would have been a better choice for interior paint, it's pricey 11-15$ a can, but you do get what you pay for. just throwing my 2 cents in there.
