painting on vinyl just isnt meant to last. You will be dissapointed eventually. Either have the vinyl stripped and recovered or buy new panels. The plactic parts however can be prepped to accept and hold paint for a good long time.

forget spray paint, it will just look half *** and in time will look like total crap. You can peace togther a gsr interior for around 300, dash, door panels, trim panels, and carpet. I've done one for around 450, but that was with a guage cluster and skunk 2 skifter/momo pedals.

youll notice in those pictures that they only sprays the hard plastic areas. NOT the vinyl. Vinyl is a soft material. paint doenst adhere and stay on soft materials very well. Take my advice and have it recovered or just decide to buy new panels.

use some vinyl dye on the vinyl parts and you can use spray paint just use a adhesion promoter first. It will double the life of the spray paint. but that is not really that long anyways unless your **** about the who rides in your car. i would highly recomend leaving it alone.
