Default How To: Painting/Dying interior panels

I bought this car w/blk-tan interior and after spending to much money on a center console and purchasing a black steering wheel I decided to dye my tan parts over to black. I used a Red Scotchbrite Pad = to 300 grit sandpaper w/alcohol to clean off any old ArmorAll or cleaners to take off all residue.Wiped down w/wet rag and let dry.
Now, for prduct I used Dupli-Color Adhesion Promoter and their brand of Black spray dye. HOWEVER, I had no clue how flat their flat balck was gonna be so I did the rear panels (the whole thing) in gloss black. I could've just done the bottom that was tan, but since I was taking the car apart why not do the whole darn thing. I also did the doors in gloss black as well. The only problem w/that was that the glossy is pretty glossy and "kind of" doesnt jive w/the dash that I just finished in Flat Black. I must admit, their Flat Black pretty well matches the upper part of the dash. Oh, forgot to mentioned that I got a used carpet off ebay. Here come the Before/After pics. Let me know what ya think,,and be honest PLEASE. Wade
