Default Planning to paint some parts of interior

I was wondering, those of you who painted their interiors, what did you guys use to paint for example A pillars, and dash in black color. I also want to do headliner but that will be totally different type of dye.

I been reading around and a lot of people use this SEM stuff, search around, you'll find tons of threads on it. Also i read this thread about a guy using a product called "folio-tec" or something like that and it seemed to have worked like a charm, however it was quite pricey.

SEM all the way. Just make sure to prep and clean before starting.

What color is your interior to begin with? If its gray I may be interested in some parts. I can pay you what is fair for the good parts, then give you mine as a swap since your painting it anyways. lmk

+1 on SEM. Good stuff, I used Landau Black on my dash came out great. Need to prep parts well. They have the primer you can use as well. I did not primer my dash.

After you prep all the parts, you MUST use an adhesion promoter.
Otherwise the paint will flake off.

How hard is it to take a part the dash and the rest of the interior to repaint it? A local shop quoted around $700-$800 just to two-tone the car. I might end up doing it myself instead.

I would assume that DIY job will be as much as 6 times cheaper.
