is that fiberglass or is it just paint and how much did you spend?
I believe he color matched to the exterior color and sprayed over the sanded down panel.

The only fiberlgass in my interior is where the gauges are where the HVAC once was and where the seatbelt holes were shaved. The rest has just been lightly sanded with 180 and I let a high-build urethane primer do the rest. Price wise, I can't really tell ya, I had alot of paint left over from the car being re-painted so I used some of it. The most I was out was around a $100 for an HVLP spray gun to spray it with. I say paint and everything I made it under $200. But I did get the paint at 70% discount.
Fugitive is right. Its color-matched, then I started at with 180 grit sandpaper, then wetsanded at 220. Laid the urethane primer to fill everything in (about 3 or 4 coats). Wetsanded with 400 then 600. Laid my white primer sealer. Then laid base and clear. Then what runs I had I wetsanded and buffed the panel out.

So do you have to sand everything down before you paint it? I am interested in painting the inside of my car but i really am not knowlegable on the subject. But i don't want to figer glass.

Now, now, Jovan. No need to get harsh with the other org members. Even though their responses may not seem so helpful, in fact they are. You just have to look past words to find the hidden answer.
For the dash, you can use vinyl and fabric dye from Duplicolor, or glass it then use regular paint. You may be able to get away with reg paint unglassed, however that is not really recommended. As the dash heats up/cools down, your dash paint will be prone to cracking and peeling.
To expand on Toboggan's answer, unless you know of an uphostery shop in your city (ie, yellow pages), you will need to look online.
Carpet and seats, see if your local auto parts store can special order them for you. Or, you can check out the group purchase forum, there may be one for seats still going. If not, check out either
Gravana or
A-Plus Performance. If you just want a black carpet, check out
JC Whitney.
Or if you want a simple color change you could do like I did and peel the old vinyl off the dash and re-wrap it with whatever color vinyl you want.
