Trust me when I say that EVEN THE BEST interior paints/dyes dont hold up. Been there dont that. Your best bet would be to source a complete grey interior from another solara.

Find a totaled car and swap them. I bought a full black interior and swapped it into my tan interior solara a couple years back. It's pretty easy to pull off... I actually sold my tan interior and it paid for the black interior!

The dash is intimidating, but it's actually super easy. :)

I still freakin hate you for having to haul your interior 8 hours, lol.

I like the painted trim, but I personally wouldn't do the upholstery with paint. I'd either do a swap or a reupholster.
Trust me, I'm a technician.

^yeah. Paint wears off of any high traffic areas. It may look good at first, it will chip off and look like crap. i would rather have a clean tan interior, than a mostly black interior with lots of tan colored chip marks around the door handles and switches.
