Dude from experience, dont paint your interior. I painted my interior and 3 months later I hated it. All the work and money on spray paint and I had to rebuy my interior peices for the car to look decent again. It looks ricer no matter how you do it unless you glass it. cost me around 250 dollars to get all the stock peices back in the car

It probably won't turn out that good one's first time fiberglassing. From what I've read it's a lot of messy work first, then lots of sanding, lots and lots of sanding.
But you won't know till you try, which is what I plan to do someday. Maybe when it gets warmer out in the spring or something.
AftermathAlero (I think that's his name) has a lot of fiberglassing done in his car, and there's some good forums on the internet about doing it. Go read up and get the ideas down and stuff before you cosider trying to glass something.
Basically I've heard it's like hardcore paper mache. You get a base of resin on, or in some cases resin covered cloth (the cloth is the structure of glasses boxes n stuff) then you put on strips and layers of fiber glass chop mat (I think that's what it's called) and paint over them with resin until you have a sturdy structure. Then you do lots of sanding and stuff and I'm pretty sure you use some body filler, too.
That's the process, I'm pretty sure to glass a dash you'd take it out, cover it in tape and aluminum foil, glass it to make a mold, then glass the dash using that mold.
Or something, I dunno. I'm trying to explain things I know very little about here.

I did it and it turned out ok, this is only the first coat tho and i used vinyl paint from Canadian tire (black) and silver paint from Canadian tire too but it wasnt for vinyl and it still worked good, what i would like to note tho is if you use a clear coat on the vinyl it WILL STICK LIKE A MOTHER.... this picture is the first coat we did, I didnt have time to finish it all in one day so i have to give it one more coat but it did turn out ok, excuse my dog, he spends more time in my car than I do,

Sounds like to much work to think about painting the interior. However I do wish my interior was all one color like blace or beige, and not this two tone crap.
