   Are you wanting to respray the interior yourself of get it professionally sprayed??
   
   You can get a plenty good enough finish yourself on the interior.
   
   Ive started doing mine last week and have done everything from the front seats backwards and have enough left to do the doors
   
   All in ive spent just over £100 on primer/paint/lacquer and prep materials

   The hardest and most boring bit is the prep work. But its also the most important bit

   yeah mate i got a tin of halfords white primer, and a tin of folia tec white interior spray, cost 9quid alltogether and managed to get the centre console with that,the heater grills and the speaker covers. with some still over. but prep is the most important thing...if u dont sand, prime and sand again the paint aint gona stick at all. but good thing is, if it goes rong sand down n try again!!
