The interior of my 01 coupe is light tan with the darker brown leather-like textured material. I wanted to paint the dark brown part black to give it more of that bmw feel. Is there a way to do this that won't ruin the interior? i.e. sanding it down and spray painting it?

If you are trying to paint anything but the hard plastic in the car, it takes a good bit of extra effort and is usually easier to just re-fabric the material. This isn't usually too bad depending on what pieces you are replacing and how easy it is to remove the old fabric.

If your talking about the dash part that is like Fo leather it will not hold paint. Your best bet is to remove and replace the material or I have see people try to dye it black but it didnt last long. It ended up fading fast.
