What Vile said: sem brand. I just did a bunch of interior panels and they turned out great. I bought a quart and shot it through a paint gun. You can get rattle cans too. The trick is getting everything super clean.

It's been a few years, how's it holding up?

The idea of painting/dying plastic/vinyl doesn't sound like a good idea. I might be wrong.

If you do it right it should last a while.  As for it not being a good idea, this is what the dealership did/does.  They just used mixed paint.
