Default what kind of paint to use?

I have a 98 dx ek and i hate the interior color, so i was thinking of painting it black and I was wondering what would be the best kind of paint to use on the dash and other interior panels?

There are no junk yards around here or anywhere near where I can get the acutal panels from.

Thanks

either what he said or you can also use krylon fusion
your local hardware store will have it and it's probably cheaper

surface prep in this type of work is KEY!!! If there is any silicone/ armor all left on the interior parts the paint will peal off in sheets. There is a paint made for this purpose you can find it a auto parts stores

I've never used fusion on vinyl but it works magic on plastic (as long as you prep it right)
I think it says on the can that it will work on vinyl though
