My Paint is boring- Spraypaint? Plasti dip? Vinyl?

I love my R56s, (2010 BRG) but my Interior is very boring (Black).

Has anyone painted or Vinyled their plastic inventor? How did it go? What did you use?


Bonus points for pictures.


Thanks guys.

Paint. Don't be a puss and paint the center console while you are at it.

Vinyl is a nice alternative. Dipped interior pieces never come out looking great because you don't get great gloss (in my opinion you need gloss or depth to contrast against leather and vinyl which is matte-ish) and with use it will peel quick. Vinyl has tons of textures and colors. I prefer the permanent paint route as you can see.
