Default Take apart interior?!?!?HELP!!!

I have been reading previous posts about dying my cars interior, but they do not recommend taking apart the interior (dash, door panels, center consoles). I plan on taking out the seats to reach the carpet in the rear and to properly dye the seats. Is taking the other parts out a must? Listening for opinions.

If you want a professional job, take everything out and the interior will look brand new when your done. If you do some pieces and not others you will see the difference. If this does not bother you then go for it. I like everythnig to match and look new. I replaced everything. It all depends how time and money you want to put into your project.

Paint wears off of everything you touch. I replaced all the soft stuff and painted the dash and trim panels. If you paint the door panels or seats you'll be sorry later.
