Interior Paint?
I currently have the black/ tan interior. I really wanted the all black interior but when I bought my 09 GT the 10's were already on the lots and my choices were limited. I found the black GT I wanted and the only thing I didnt like was the tan interior parts. All of the expensive parts are black, like the seats, carpet, headliner. What I want to know is if the Ford charcoal black is available in a spray paint? I really want to paint the tan parts black but I want it to match the Ford black parts. Also is there a write up anywhere on how to paint the interior parts? I searched but couldnt find anything.

Are you talking about plastic parts or vinyl parts? I know on the 05-09 GTs most of the interior trim is Black/Silver... the only things that are colored would be door panels (possibly) and center console/armrests ect. And those thing would be leather/cloth/vinyl
If that is the case, then you really wouldn't want to use spraypaint. You'd be better off with a leather/vinyl dye. Even then, you kinda gotta know what you're doing, though there are a lot of how-to's online to help you out.
Definitely research THOROUGHLY and know what you are up against before you leap on this kind of DIY.
I wish I could be of first-hand knowledge to help you, but the only thing I've painted/dyed on my interior was my steering wheel inserts recently and those are just plastic and were able to be removed, painted and reinstalled.

The trim around the odometer, above the center console, and at the air bag
has been painted many times. (The parts usually in silver or dark silver or carbon fiber looking)
The parts such below those parts and the door area etc, I have not seen painted.
You are talking about a big risk painting all those parts if you are not a professional.
Just the easy take off trim on the first parts I just talked about cost up to 500 bucks.
Remember if you feel of the plastic on the door it has a pattern.
That means you can't sand it down without messing it up.
