Exclamation Best paint brand for interior painting?

Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on the best (most durable, quality, etc.) spray paint for interior parts...like the windowcontrols bezel..the stereo surround..and the inserts by the door handle levers (all mine are champagne color. I want to paint them a red..like a darker blood sorta red. I searched the forms for this and found that a few people recommended SEM Bumper Coater and Trim Clear..but SEM doesn't have red in that paint. Any other real good brands anyone? What store can you buy it at..etc. Thanks!

Second that. In my Isuzu, I removed and thoroughly washed the parts I wanted to paint, let them dry, and then sanded them down lightly with a fine grit.

A few thin---thin!---coats of standard primer to make the paint stick, double number of coats of color, then about 7 thin layers of clearcoat. It took me the entire day, but all the parts were perfect for the four remaining years that I owned the car.

My advice to anyone considering this, never use white. You'll blind yourself on a sunny day.
