Default Interior Paint

I searched and couldnt find anything about interior care other than how to strip sound insulation.

I have seen threads in here about painting the interior of track prepped/race cars. Under the carpet of my 95 cx is a disaster, scuffs etc, so id like it all to be one color and clean.

What do you guys use? I am not looking for a spotless professional job, i was going to thoroughly clean it, tape off the obvious stuff and then rattle can it.

Any procedure/product suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Brush-on Rustoleum, baby. Nice and glossy, easy to fix and no overspray all over everything. Don't look TOO closely, though.

My choice as well. Grey or some light color is nice because you can see drips or leaks more easily. I went to a boating supply store and got some non-skid compound that's usually mixed with deck paint and added it in my paint. I figured racing shoes and wet gloss paint on the floor on a rainy day might lead to problems when climbing in over the door bars. Seems to work pretty well.

There are a number of options for the home DIY paint job. We used Rustoleum primer in spray cans and that is good enough for us. For anything that we painted Black - Rustoleum in either brush or spray works very well. Multiple coats are the key whether primer or color. For the floor pan on the driver's side I put ThermoTec heatshield down and a single layer does a nice job without adding a lot of weight. Rustoleum is available at most any national chain and even smaller paint stores.
