Default Interior Paint Question

What up, people? You guys have been great with all the info. I been lookin to change my whole interior.
Should I ....
1. Paint the whole interior
*Does anyone know a step by step process?
Or a link that can show me how.
2. ..... Or buy some of that Tsunami Vinyl Kit and heat it over the dash and panels.
*I seen some kits only for $50

*What do you guys think is the best way to go?
*Has anybody used the vinyl or repainted the interior?
*How long did it stick (paint or vinyl) did it easily get damaged or dull?
*How long was the process of installation?

Paining seems like it would be most susceptible to damage, wear, etc.

Whatever you do, paint or vinyl, unless you have a friend or something with experience, I'd talk to some professional shops about doing it, even if you don't pay them to do it, just try and find out what's involved, and the steps to do it right.

I actually called several shops on how much they charge and their own process on the paint. I heard crazy prices like 450 and 575, plus i had to leave my car their for at least 3 to 4 days. This price was for two colored interior that covered the 4 door panels, the dash board, the center console and the interior overhead.
So I was thinking if i go with the painting i was ganna DIY.

i painted my interior and i am now regretting all the work i put into it. the paint rubs off very easily and when it gets hot outside the paint gets kinda sticky. it's just a mess now. i would either have someone paint the interior professionally, or learn to like your interior how it is.
