Looks really good man. ^ You can use shop air to clean it and then paint it with a can of flat black paint. Thats what I did and it looks good.

House of Kolors, thats what I had in the garage, I think Testors would work fine, House of Kolors is (was?) avaliable at Hobby Lobby in the airbrush section. The base was Rustoleum flat black. Assortment of brushes, I think I could have air brushed alot of it, but the shop was cold and the Garage was warm, compressor and gun in the shop, brushes and paint in the garage . I was pretty lucky on the liner itself, great shape and clean, 2001, with 14,000 miles, always garage and kepted with a three point detail-exterior, interior and engine compartment.
