it will last for a month before it's snowing like christmas

and by that time, the only way to remove the chipping paint is to use paint remover, which ultimately destroy the surface layer of your interior.

I have a friend that painted his interior on this car and his previous truck both looked damn good and I liked it a lot. Most people don't get theirs looking that good tho.

If you really wanted it done bad, i'm assuming there's a real way to do it, that a custom upholstery shop would be able to do for you. Otherwise, keep it stock.

if you still want to paint your interior make sure everything is clean before you paint. rub everything down with rubbing alcohol. also, make sure you use paint for vinyl interior.

My friend... ...what do you think "interior paint" is?!... ain't nothing but paint... ....you need to get something like wall paint... which should be able to stick more to vynil or ruber.... ...and make sure you clean the surface, and prepare it to be painted... ....otherwise... it will crack... and stuff.... btw.... spray painting it.... should look better...

if you really want to do it that bad, then id say get the best paint you can and reach for the stars, but im not telling you that you wont regret it in the long run, they make interior kits for hondas, its cloth that exactly fits your design and usually looks pretty good, you need to take a look at that stuff, or maybe think about the worst outcome of painting your interior.
