I have quite a bit of experience in repainting your interior using Duplicolor's line of "Vinyl & Fabric Spray".

Before I wrapped my accord around a tree, I had everything on the inside except for the rear seats in my selected color theme, which was black and silver at the time.

The Vinyl & Fabric spray's were at the time alot less selective than they are now, so now you can find just about any colors you want.

Its quite simple tho, just pull everything out that you want to paint, wash it very well with some dawn dishsoap or something to remove any trace of armorall or anything that may be on there, let it dry, then coat it 2-3 times letting it completely dry between each coat, which usually takes 5-10 mins.

You can paint your carpeting and your seats as well, but I highly reccomend you pull them out as its quite tedious when trying to paint the cloth or carpet.

All you do for cloth and carpet is coat it heavy once, let it dry, then take a very *very* hard bristled brush that you can buy at wal-mart in the cosmetics section (look for the ones with the wooden handles and very short, very hard black bristles) and just brush it to hell and back, brush it in all directions, do swirls and everything, then take a blow dryer or leaf blower, and blow it to push all the flakes that came off out of there, then rinse and repeat.

After you do it about 3-5 times, the material will be black, and it will definately not come off.

I actually had it on my carpeting under my clutch foot for over a year, and the paint never came out, so I'd definately say its not easy to get it out.

Also make sure to wash your carpeting with some carpet cleaner beforehand, but you can do that in the car itself.


Just remember to get the FLAT colors, if you prefer glossy shiny interiors get gloss, but I've seen how bright gloss interiors get, and its just plain tacky.
