hey, ive got almost everything needed to do a black interior conversion, I've heard the Bull Dog prep and SEM vinyl paint works well, just wondering how many cans you think i need. I am only going to be painting all the plastic panels behind the driver window and the center console... two cans of each? Ive already got the door panels, front and back carpet and seats, but any tips would be appreciated though...

I redid my 85 in canyon red and I did the whole interior, IIRC i USED 3-4 cans

I did my whole interior from red to black, I took everything out of the car and sprayed it. I used probably 10-12 cans of Duplicolor Vinyl Coating. I have a GT hatch, so the rear panels are quite large, plus I had to do the door panels, dash, etc. I would say you can get away with 5-6 cans, but I also recommend using an adhesion promoter. Duplicolor makes one of those as well ( about $6 a can ), but you really only need one coat of that. Apply in thin coats and just be patient with it, it will look great in the end.
I just finished mine, so if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask. It's still pretty fresh in my head, so I may remember.
P.S. You may notice in the picture, my door sills have remnants of red. With all the abuse they get, I recommend just buying some black ones.
