General interior R34 questions

[r34killa]

Hi everyone,

I'm generally new to DIY projects, and I've browsed this forum and watched a lot of youtube videos but still have a few questions

 

Firstly, how does spray painting interior hold up? in particular like vinyl parts, my current mode of thinking is to use methyl spirits to take off original paint, clean/prep well, light coats, no primer or clear coat 

 

Secondly, what is recommended for the headliner and, for example (my car is a r34), the A-pillars which are some kind of other fabric material, do you think I would be successful at retrimming these? or would it be better to go down the blacking out via Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric Paint 

 

Any other advice / tips / tricks for refreshing/modernising these interiors? 

 

Thanks

Vinyl paint always ends up coming off interior trim and looking like arse.

For the a pillar trims.....just try cleaning them with fabric shampoo? Maybe ditto for the headliner.

Dye *should* work on the _cloth_ but not on the hard vinyl. That said, it's a mixture of both of these things.

You probably have a sedan, and want a coupe as the coupe got all the black interior and the sedan is silver. I was planning on just taking the lot to a trimmer as you've noticed it's a mix of cloth, hard plastic, and bits of metal that need to change colour so I wager you will need all sorts of different, complimentary skills to actually make it work.
