Default Changing colors of the interior of my 94 manual. What can I do about dash and side panel color?

I'm going to have my car be black from the cd player down, and white from the cd player up. Then on the side panels, where the arm rest is, black down and white up. I just don't know where to get actual new dash, or do I just take that out and paint it? I found a dash kit for all the plastic which I can order with the specific color, but none of the other stuff (the fake leather stuff...) Just asking if I should take it out and paint it with the right painting equipment/paint or is there a place to order this?

Also, anyone have a place that sells dial kits for my accord? I'd need to change them also, but I can't seem to find a place that has Honda dial kits.

Thanks

just remove it, sand it down/primer/paint with vinyl,,,

another option, send it to a shop have them re-wrap it with the specified color of choice.

alright, so even with the vinyl (that's the name of that fake stuff!) I'm going to be doing what I would do with all the plastic parts that aren't practially rebuyable; aka the air conditioner vents? Remove it, sand it down, primer it, paint it, then put it back in after it dries. And I'm going to use the vinyl paint that you can get at local wal-mart? That'd just make too much sense.

There are screws and plugs all over the dash that you have to find to remove it. Also, in the 94 you have to remove the center shifting console because I had to do that to install my cd player. Just expect to find alot of dirt and grime in places that you didn't think stuff like that could get! Like the half eaten 5 year old M&M's bag I found from the previous owners daughter that had somehow gotten under the stick...yea, I gave them back to her since she's my lil sisters friend.

Thanks
