    Search Sem flexible spray paint, prep work is the key, color code would be landau black, good luck! Prep is key!!!

    This is just my opinion, but the interior painting thing never ends well.

    In my opinion, the best way is to find a car with the gray interior and swap it out. YMMV

    The ideal thing would be to find a complete car in the junkyard, or a parts car for a donor.

    hey I dyed my interior in my bagged wagon and it came out great, most people on here couldn't even tell it was dyed, but like they said above prep is KEY

    cant figure out if it's about the seats or as interior in whole... :)

    in both cases - (re) upholster

    instead of paint - cover it like you would with a headliner...

    I have done this to some parts of my wagon.

    SEM is good stuff. Plasi-Dip is also great, doesn't look as OEM but is tough.

    Keep in mind sedan dash vents, door handle trim, etc should fit if you stay year specific.

    Main problem areas I have are seat belts rubbing on center console (I am too poor to buy a black DC2 Integra center console), and the area on the rear quarter panel plastic where the doors meet the rear seat area.
