if ur gonna put a full black interior in, then dont pull it out and paint it, grab a black dash from a 2g and put it in, then paint the other panels, those are the easy ones... and paint those flat black, not gloss black, gloss looks like $hit in these cars, i painted my interior flat black and i always got compliments on how it actually looked stock

full black un painted from a totaled 2G would be the best bet.see all these hondas with spray painted interiors,alot of time they dont prep it,so it fish eyes,or flakes off.i have seen a few GSXs with dyed interior,that was hot,and looked factory.

there was no eclipse that was made with an all black interior... the only black they had was on the dash, and i believe on the top of the center console... the rest would have to be painted... and if you paint it with plastic paint, it wont fish eye or flake off

Yes there was. I believe it was the 98 or 99 Eclipses. Not all of course just a few. Black upper dash, black center console, black inner kick panels. Maybe it was the OZ edition, I can't remember, but there were some with factory all black dashes.

Yup, I've seen a few of these, attempted painting of the consoles, and how they weren't prepped and how the paint would just flake off if I touched it. Ewwwww.
These were done by guys who were in some sort of rush.
Then there are the painted consoles that were highly prepped with sanding and how they look fiberglassed and have been this way for years and not a chip of paint has came off. Just remember that paint doesn't flex, so if you put it on a flexible panel and you constantly remove these panels, then expect it to chip and crack from the flexing.

Mine is an all black interior including dash, center console, seats, all paneling, and doors. The only parts that are grey are the panels below the dash.
