Theres a special paint they make, usually comes in a spray can, made for spraying the interior of a car. Can't remember what it's called, I know somebody else on here has to know what it is.

You could probably use some other stuff, but I know this stuff is made specifically for interiors.

I believe I found it in the auto department....You should be able to find one at a local pep boys or autozone as well....call ahead so you dont waste your gas.

Yeah I seen your pics in that 5 page post. What did you use flat black or semi-gloss. I want alittle gloss almost like a saten I guess.

I'll start with semi, if it's not what I want I'll try high gloss.
