Re: INTERIOR PAINT??????
I thought everyone was talking about plastic and vinyl pieces. I'm not sure I would try and dye fabric with anything from an autoparts store. There's this dye my wife uses that dyes natural and synthetic fibers permanently with no fading. It even is strong enough to stain wood, plastics and if you let it sit long enough it will stain metal.
I imagine if you could find a big enough tub you could dye the parts with good results.

Re: INTERIOR PAINT??????
These are the instructions a buddy of mine told me, I think he got them directly from SEM customer service... Not totally sure, I did basically the same thing but didn't use SEM products. Mine turned out really nice but I think for the other pieces, I'm going to follow these instructions and see how it turns out. I'll post up some pictures whenever I get done.
Using 4 products and alot of prep work to get it to look really nice, if done properly will be amazing looking.
SEM SOAP - 39362
PLASTIC & LEATHER PREP - 38353
PLASTIC ADHESION PROMOTER - 39863
TRIM BLACK - 39143
#1 Clean with 39362 using a scotch pad
#2 Clean with 38353 using clean towel
#3 Use 400-600 grit sandpaper to scuff surface
#4 Clean again with 38353 using clean towel
#5 Blow off any dust on surface and clean 1 last time with 38353
#6 Use 39863 to prep the surface for paint.
#7 Spray with 39143 lightly, wait about 5-10 min and spray 2 more coats.. allowing about 10min between coats.
#8 Let dry 36-48 hours before you reinstalling the pieces.

Re: INTERIOR PAINT??????
I wouldn't do it man. I've seen pictures online that look decent but I just can't imagine it turns out that well in the long run. Paint just won't last as long as the colored plastic the manufacturers make. If you do, post pictures and stuff, it is your car after all and your choice, but personally, I feel like most would regret painting the interior down the line.
