I'm looking at painting my interior panels black and replacing my carpet with a molded black carpet. Anyone have any suggestions on getting the best look while doing it without it turning out looking like some cheesy painted honda plastic? Paint, adhesion etc?

Re: Painted interior.
Go to a good paint shop. My carquest has a great paint shop and I got everything I needed including plastic/vinyl prep (cleaner), adhesion promoter, and SATIN black paint for plastics. The cleaner and adhesion promoter are for longevity, the sheen of the paint determines how it will look. Satin will get you closest to the look of new plastics. If you want more or less gloss, you can go for semi-flat or semi-gloss, but I wouldn't go much farther in either direction if you want it to look fairly stock.
I recently replaced my carpet, purchased from this place:

They are the factory direct source for accmats.com, which if you'll notice, costs much much more. When shipped from above link, the carpet came in "ACCMATS.COM" boxes.

Re: Painted interior.
I wouldn't recommend krylon fusion, however, with the right products, it is very possible to make it look good. I've painted much of my dash and entire center console and kick panels with the above station method and you would never know it's painted, it just looks new and clean.
