i wanna change the color of my interior to black. i've read about fabric spray paint and fabric dye. which would work better on my carpet and seats? any problems with either one? and how do they look and feel afterwards? i heard that the spray paint makes the seats hard at first, but they feel fine after breaking them in. any other info?

I sprayed a small part of my seats black, and i didnt like the way it felt/looked...I used a small soft paint brush to keep the carpet soft and to help seap (sp) the paint in...but i couldnt do that with the seats. I just bought some leather seat covers instead. So id recommend dying them over painting.
