Ok, my bench seats are green, same with the door trims. I want them to be black, would it be a good idea to spray them with vinyl paint or not?

Used it quite a few times, works well but rubs off in high wear areas. Can be toughed up.

some automotive paint specialists sell high-quality vinyl paint (higher than those in a can). A fair bit more durable. And they can mix any colour you like ready for your air compressor.

I strolled into one shop in Fyshwick, Canberra and had a chat to a guy about it. Saw a few samples etc.. but never got it done there.
I've since left canberra and I'll be looking for somewhere here in Adelaide that does it myself very soon.
Have a flick through the yellow pages and see if you can find any automotive paint retailers.. they should have some.
