I painted my interior on my 97 camry, took forever to get the vent covers off!
its not bad. Sand with 220-400 grit sand paper, wash it off let it dry, prime with plastic primer, then paint with any spray paint. do lots of light coats, not one big one or else it will quibble!
It looks sick when i finished

my friend painted his entire interior white and kawasaki green. i recommend that you use vinyl paint, it will last longer. you can find this stuff at almost any auto parts store nowadays. if you do it right, it looks fantastic. patience is a virtue with this project. just my .02 tho.

Ya, i want to do that to my factory leather in my 97 camry. But i don;t know if its possible to spray paint over leather. Isn;t there some kind of leather dye?

in the last few show i saw many cars interior was clearly sprayed on. I bet theres alot more too it than what it seems. Some guys actually use house paint! LoL Don't vinyl dye just change the shadeing?

i didnt paint the leather, thats next, or i was thinking of jsut putting clear coat paint on it so it shines all the time! I have to look into paninting this leather thing!

I sprayed my friends Shadow a few weeks back. My friend led the project and that was a bad move. I should have taken charge since iv'e done it before but there is some long ass story to that.... but any way

we de greased, sanded, primes, sprayed, sprayed, sprayed, sprayed, sprayed, sprayed, sprayed and it looks good.. cept there were dust particles cause Sean (friend/leader) didnt want to wash it down or do anything 'cept spray and talk
