I want to change the interior of my car? What would be the cheapest way to do this?
Its a 1995 toyota tercel. I am just going to buy seat covers for the seats but I want the interior to be either black or red. I am trying to save money but I know this wont be cheap. Is there maybe some kind of paint I could possibly get that would change the color for me

Yes they actuall make paint to do this, you can even paint the carpet with the right paint. Visit a paint store that has a large varity of spray paint and talk to someone there with knowlage and you will generally find what you are looking for.

Cheapest? Tijuana!
A friend of mine did this last year and left he car in TJ for 5 days (Nissan Maxima). When we picked up the car, it was just like a brand new. Paid $1500 for the entire interior.

No cheap way to do it. Paint won’t work, you have to rip out the old interior and replace it with new.
You can paint it. There are many how to sites out there. Basically disassemble all parts you wanna paint, prep the parts(sand&clean with soap&warmH2O use a very fine git sand paper and a lil water is okay)Lightly sand all your parts and wipe clean with soapy water. Dry well use a blowdryer on any vinyl or leather parts that might hold water. Next hit it all with a coat of primer(all around it),let dry,hit wit a second coat, let completely dry, wipe down with a clean cloth lightly sand any rough spots. Next paint one sweeping overlapping coat at a time once the first coat is dry apply second and so on till you got what you want. I did my wifes Escort for around $25. I used 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of paint.
BE VERY CAREFUL when putting the parts back in.Hittim em with a coat of clear coat might help.
