Help with interior transformation

Hey guys ive got a Gold LS 2.2 Sedan with tan interior. I would like to do as much black as possible inside the car and im just not sure where to get started, obviously the plastic dash trim can get painted, but when about the rest of the dash and d panels?

ive seen a couple guys wrap them but how well does that hold up?

any incite here would be great, ive sprayed a dash and dpanels before and it doesnt last at all, dash heated up in the sun and stunk, doors peeled whereever i touched them.

I did this with an old car, i basically called around and found what i was looking for at a wrecker, and straight traded them mine for theirs.

It all depends what you're looking to do: Show Car, Daily Driver, ETC.

You could wrap your dash, fiberglass it, paint it, dye it. Whatever your heart desires.

I agree, it would be best to get a black interior from a wrecked cobalt or something.
Spray painted interiors = junky

Using quality plastic dye/paint and properly prepping panels you can get pretty good results on the panels. My pillars have painted for 3 years now. I would recover the cloth inserts though, not dye them. Of course wrapping the entire panel would be pretty baller
