How has the paint been holding up? I think I am just going to do everything at once and sand/prime everything. I will then rewrap the headliner...

I followed this write up and did my entire enterior headliner and all. Took about 7 cans of paint to do but it came out b!tchin!! nothing like an comepletely black interior. I just wiped down the surfaces very clean, i've heard using rubbing alcohol works very well. But about 4 coats for every piece and that's it. Getting the headliner out of the car was a PITA but it came out great. I'm hoping to get some pics up by this weekend.

I am in the process of painting the dash pieces and it is not coming out well..... Paint is spreading on me. I do understand, I painted my rims fine. Pepboys did not have flat so I am using semi gloss...

Wash the parts in hot water (as hot as you can stand) with some diswashing soap (dawn, etc) to remove finger grease, mold release, etc. That's what I do and I've never had a problem with paint sticking. Just make sure it's COMPLETELY dry before you paint it.

I would have to imagine that mineral spirits would work too, since you are cleaning and preping the surface at the same time.

What pedals do you have in your pictures, I like. And I did this myself, turned out great, now I have to do the B and C pillars to match.
