Default Interior color change

I'm getting ready to change my interior from dark red to torch red but more like ZO6 style with black carpet and wondered if anyone had any advice for dying the door panels and some trim pieces. Any ideas on best place to buy the paint what type, primer or not, clear coat etc?

you're better off just buying black carpet and black door panels...

Forum member sfc rick recently changed his interior to red and he had posted about the process, I wasn't able to find the thread but if you search you might be able to find it or you could pm him.
