yeah its possible, but it will look like crap. Its called interior dye. Dont do it man...waste of time, money, and your seats will peel to hell.

it's a pain in the ***, but you can always piece together a black interior and put it in.

IMO, i would not paint it, go the extra mile and get an original black interior. paint looks like ***.

VHT has interior paint for plastics. Autometer recomends it to paint their pillar pods to match interiors. It is not supossed to flake or fade.

Your better off swapping all of the parts for the gray interior.

The worst part is the dash. Im not looking forward to doing that on mine.

Im in the progress of doing my interior right now, i swapped every little single thing in my car tan to black EXCEPT the dash, it would be a pain to do it if you're lazy, so what i did was got some BullDog paint stuff and black vinyl paint. Bulldog paint is a clear paint that you suppose to paint it on your dash first before you spray the black vinyl paint on, BullDog make the paint stick on very strong so it wont be easily be peel off or fade and whatever, i highly recommand using this BullDog ****, mine turns out great! and i have no regret, just use newspaper to block off the area where you dont want it to be painted. You can find BullDog at almost any paint stores. Good Luck! Hope that help!
