Here is my scenario,

My car is painted orange, all the interior pieces are black , seats door panels, handles, and backpad. I ordered a black carpet set, after 4 weeks waiting, I received a brown. He claims that's what I ordered, but I know what I ordered.

Maybe this is good, maybe not.

has anyone ever use black interior with a different carpet color? I know that the color of the carpet wil go nice with the paint color.

I am also thinking of painting the door handles in brown as well as the center console for a better match. has anyone used vinyl paints before?

comments, opinions and pictures are welcome and appreciated as I need to make a decision to send this set back.

To answer your actual question- I have used vinyl paint. I painted door panels on my 4 door Rabbit dark blue with red piping when I converted to GTI interior. Adhesion was excellent, color was even, the vinyl was nice and pliable when it was finished. I would, however, not recommend it so much for arm rests. The color will most likely come off after a bit of normal use. Parts that don't get constant contact would be a much better candidate for painting.

Just my opinion...
