Default Painting the interior

Hey, Im a newer Scion owner and I have an 07 TC...My colors for this car are gonna be black and metallic purple. The exterior color is black shadow mica (unsure of spelling) and interior is black as well.. But anyway, I want to paint the interior parts that are snap-on ( around the stereo and ac/heat control unit), the odometer plastics, the air vents etc... metallic purple. Any suggestions for paint type!? Spray paint? car paint!? And what about a clear coat for shine? any ideas are great thanks!!!

There are plenty of threads around painting the interior. I would suggest searching. From what I have seen, rattle cans work really well on the inexpensive side. Duplicolor is really popular. Clear after for shine. Maybe that will give you a good reference point to go from.

Before you paint, make sure every bit of oil, grease, surface protectant and mold release are cleaned off. Speaking from sad experience (my first car), follow the can directions and use several light coats.
