Changing color of interior

Hello

well i was thinking of painting the dark brown parts of my interior black. that will include the main dashboard, the center console with the armrest. including the upper portion of the doors not painting the inserts or the bottom...)

what i mean is, i just want to paint the top portion leaving all the beige parts beige.

car looks like this inside right now




and i want it to look something like this



do you guys know what is the best vinyl paint out there, and what is your overall opinion on this.

I want to do the same thing to my frost interior, making it a charcoal over cream coler with charcoal/cream leathers seats

it makes for a really upscale look

you might want to consider just getting those parts in black. you will have to take those parts off to paint them anyway if you want them to look professonal. buy the new part, do the swap, and sell your old parts to break even. even if you do lose some $50-100 in the swap because you don't get all the money you were hoping for, it would still be worth it. you save in time, preperation, and worrying about making it perfect. besides, paint is the easy way out, but i'd rather know for sure that the paint will not rub off, or the sun get to it and fade.

if you do decided to paint it anyway, then speak with metallic97gxe... he has done something like this not too long ago...
