Default 02 Eclipse GT

So i stripped the inside of my car, and was thinking about painting the panels... only problem is that im not sure what the best way is. Has anyone attempted or done this before that could help?

If you do mean interior Panels I suggest using a High-Temp resistant paint.
The correct way to do it is well if your doing a different color. Get some 220 Wetsand Paper (let soak for 5-15mins) from your local Kragen or Autozone,etc...There will be deep scratches Do not worry the Primer will fill it in.
Primer+Paint can be Rattle can as long as its High-Temp reistant. Dont forget when you do spray the interior make sure its in a dust free area, that is very warm,Heating up the primer,paint,and clearcoat will help harden it at a faster rate.

Now for the interior metal end Epoxy primer is good for that.

Well whatever works,On the interior Refrab I usually do on customer cars I use High Temp For assurance it wont smear after being sprayed.I only say use HighTemp paint because if your car is like mine,Well then its a rolling heatbox
