If your looking for a gloss color instead of a flat color:
1. Wash it down good
2. Sand it to rough it up
3. Use plastic primer and spray a good coat over it
4. Then use Gloss Paint and do a few good coats of that
5. Then use Clear Coat to give that extra shine
And if you have extra money, get a paint pump and work with that instead, the results are way better then stupid spray paint.

Funny thing is, i found that meet purely by accident.
I just went to Lollicup to get a slush....and then all of a sudden i see all these dope cars. I was like WTF?! OH HELLZ YEAH! so i stuck a round for a while to see the goods.
and about the UCF meet.. i wasen't even aware of it.
Maybe i'll come through when my car gets repainted and is somewhat presentable. Cause right now my SC is looking cuh-razy with mismatched wheels and needing some TLC.
PM me some more info about the meet/time and stay in touch cause i dont know any other SC owners in the orlando area..

Sounds good brotha
I will try and remember to PM you when we have our next meet not this coming wednesday but the following one. You know us SC guys have to stick together now 
Oh and don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you need help with things on your SC. I can take apart pretty much the entire interior in less than an hour and I do detailing (interior/exterior) so I can help you out whenever our schedules allow us to
You could use SEM to dye the carpet black but most people use RITZ dye for that. You can find it at Wal-Mart or any other store such as that. You will have to take your carpet and put it in the largest plastic garbage bag you can find (the ones with a lid you can take off and on), pour RITZ dye as well as some water and leave the carpet their for as long as you can (preferably a weak). That way when you take it out you can take a hose to it and wash off the excess dye and it should stay black.

I am going to try the rit dye tomorrow just on the floor mats. I am overall very happy with the SEM paint on the carpet, but its not holding up very well on the drivers carpet floor mat.

Okay, I know there is rustoleum vinyl paint, but does it hold up to SEM? What would be the xact step by step directions to see this project perfectly from begining to end? How many cans will I need? What to prep the surface with? What angle to paint? How many light coats? I wanna do this right if you know what I mean. I might try the carpet dye thing as well. The carpet will fit in the sealed trash can thing? Its that flexible? Thanks for all the support so far you guys. I will post up picks of the process and the results.

Okay, I know there is rustoleum vinyl paint, but does it hold up to SEM? In my experience, nothing is better than SEM paints. Nothing! It's that good.
What would be the exact step by step directions to see this project perfectly from beginning to end? Remove the parts you plan to do. Then it’s all in the prep work. I washed my seats, wood grain and vinyl parts down with a good cleaner then rubbed denatured alcohol all over, it dries quickly. 20 mins later started spraying using a $1 spray gun adaptor. You’ll get even coverage & no sore fingers.
How many cans will I need? For entire parts I only used two cans.
What to prep the surface with? Cleaner & Denatured alcohol, I didn't purchase any adhesion promoter, but it can only help if you want to use it.
What angle to paint? Use the gun adaptor for even coverage. How many light coats? I did 3 full coats on each piece.
