First off, There is aerosol or quart bottles for use with separate spray guns. Then there are potential additional products suggested like primer, surface prep, adhesion promoter, and also clear coat. I want to match my faded brake and shifter center console, the seat backs, and the speaker housing (by your feet) with the bright blue seats and door panels. Those that have done this, what is your method and what products do you involve? My first thought is to clean with simple green, or TSP and then solvent wipe and spray. Benefits of Aerosol or quart?

I’ve used this with excellent results on the console plates.
Thoroughly cleaned with acetone. Scuffed with 2000. Sprayed two medium coats 50 years of use Cleaned, scuffed with 2000 grit Ready for another 50 years
I just dyed a bunch of plastic interior parts for a 69 Camaro Pace car.
I cleaned everything with purple power and scrub brush, then with prepsol final wipe until there was no discoloring of the papertowels when apply prepsol.

For Plastic or vinyl BULLDOG adhesion promoter PRIOR to a catalyzed topcoat.
I shot catalyzed CROMAX added 20% flattener to it so it would not be high gloss and .
YOU cannot scratch it off with your fingernails, even the rubber grab bars.
I used the dye sold on Eckler's to match, but massively expensive, at least to me. I got some rattle can paint in an auto parts store, but to get it to adhere to plastic parts, bulldog adhesion promoter works very well. I couldn't live without that stuff. Did my A-pillar and windshield interior trim this way.
Since your not doing a color change, I would not use the primer, just thorough clean, adhesion promoter and the dye. I used rattle can from Corvette America and came out nice. Not too glossy, no streaking.
Painting interior components correctly
