Alright guys, i finally got some pictures of the paint i used and some more inside shots.

Before i painted all the parts, i had to make sure that every piece was 100% perfectly spotless. There can't be any dirt or dust on it, or the paint doesn't stick as good as it should. I applied the Vinyl paint which was Jet Black, in very very very light coats. If you put to much paint on at once then it will bubble up and look like shit. On the dash alone i put about 5 or 6 full coats.

I used the fabric Jet Black paint to change the color of the brown carpet on the door panels to black. This also i did in a couple of coats. It doesn't really matter how you apply the fabric paint, you can soak it if you want.

I found all of this to be a very good, as well as a cheap job. I did everything myself, but made sure that i did a professional job. I recomend this to all guys who are doing their interiors soon. It is almost perfect i'd have to say. Thanx Once again guys for all the support. If you have any more questions then just ask!

mattphi, the trick is to brush the fabric after spraying it and then respray, brush, respray...

When i painted the carpet, it feels great afterwords. It still feels like carpet, i recommend this as a great cheap way to change the stuff guys :)
