I'm doing a red/black theme on the inside of my car and I've pretty much finished the red...now I need to get all those other parts that have to be painted from the inside. All the pieces that I've painted red are ones that I've been able to unscrew and take out to clean, spray, and set out to dry. Now I'm focused on parts like the dashboard/arm rests/ yatta yatta....so does anyone know of a good paint to be brushed on opposed to being sprayed on?

That's all good and true but honestly I'm much too lazy to take everything out and paint it. I guess in other words I was willing to take out the convenient parts and spray them...I don't really want to take the time to get the more pain in the ass parts out so I'm trying to do it the lazy bum way by just doing it from the inside.

So far I've been using Krylon paint fusion from Kragen and it seems to work well...I figure if there's anything better I'm willing to try it.

Yeah I've noticed I had a problem with areas like that...the paint rubs off and I can't get it to stay on =/

if you are going to do the interior you will need SEM paint...for interior....it was like 11 bucks a can but its the best stuff used...i have no chips or flakes on my door panels.
