it looks good the only thing i didnt like was how you sprayed the wood trim black also maybe you could have restored the wood or done something different just black with black trim isnt my deal. But looks really good over all im going to do this soon also.

I appreciate all the POSITIVE comments guys. I thought about redoing the wood another color, but due to the Iphone camera, you cant really see the big difference in them, but there is.
I used approx. 4 cans for the leather seats, and 6 cans for the rest. I sprayed about 4 coats for the vinyl parts. I sanded every piece of it down with 400 grit sand paper, then used rubbing alcohol, then acetone. This was to make sure it was prepped good. SEM paint did the rest. I actually went around all the light switches with tape, so I could still see them at night. If you are going to do this, take your time, and do it right. Make sure you let it dry minimum 10 minutes between coats. SEM is the best paint that I have ever used. PERIOD.
It took me approx. 5 days to do everything and let everything get good and dry.
I will try and post better pictures of it in the sun, with a better camera soon.
Thanks again for all the comments.

I actually used the Duplicolor on the mats and carpet. The carpet has been holding up very well, but my driver side mat is showing a little gray color now. I just now need to use rit dye and call it the day. I believe it will hold the best for such wear and tear.
This is my daily driver. I have also read about spraying over with the same paint that I used for the rest of the interior, SEM. I havent tried it yet.

Oh wow.. Looks very good. You had a complete set of black interior you swapped it with? Mine is all black as well. I wished the previous owner would have kept the woodgrain tho but he sprayed it black. Its all good but wishing for some contrast if he left it original.

I have to totally agree with the last statement. There are countless threads on here of so many people have done with their interior. If I could have changed anything that I have done, I would have also removed all of the upper trim pieces and the dash, and sprayed those too. Overall, everyone who uses this paint is very happy with the outcome.
I will post more detailed pictures of it tomorrow, as long as I can get the larger size files to load.

SEM, its black Landau in color. I bought all of mine local called Moore's Paint in Huntsville, AL. You can use Armor All, but its too shiny in my taste. I just use a micro fiber rag and soap and water to clean it.
