I think you would need vinyl paint for that, pero I'm not sure. Let's wait for the other's opinion/experience as well. Good luck on the project!

alam ko may vinyl paint nga. may nakita ako sa net ok yung kinalabasan, though black lang yung color nung nakita ko.

it's a special type of paint that is actually more like a dye. the vinyl also has to be prepped a certain way because it's more porous and textured. better leave this job to a professional interior shop.

my opinions lang po mga sir...just correct me if i am wrong...
if one would look closely at the pics, the only ones that are painted are he plastic trims, not the vinyl surface. for this, you can actually disassemble the said parts and prep them properly...sand(maybe wet sanding), wash/clean thoroughly, dry, apply some plastic primer(w/c is available in our local hardwares), then thin coats of paint...and maybe some layers of clear coat. let dry for a couple of hours or so...maybe half a day outside but free from dust or other contaminants that may affect the final finish. then install back into the car.

very important ung prepping nung surfaces...especially the plastic primer for the paint to stick to it.

just my two cents... =)
