Painting Interiors/Seats?

[F-40]

I've been having problems painting the interiors and seats of my models. How do you guys paint yours and what kind of paint do you use (Enamel, Acrylic, etc..)?

I use enamel. Also you have to have a Tamiya Masking tape, it doesnt bleed, and it will be alot easier for you to paint different parts of interior\seat.

What sort of problems??
Use an enamel paint as it takes longer to dry and gives more time if you are brushing.
Warm the bottle in hot water for a few minutes as this will allow the paint to flow on better and leave hardly any brush marks.

When Im painting the cockpit or big parts I get a lot of brush marks(Thanks for the tip), and they just dont turn out that nice. Should I spray paing the big parts then do the fine detailing with a brush? The problem right now is Im painting the seats for my AMT Ferrari 512 B.B. black and red but the red is really runy and doesnt work very good(Its a Testors Enamel Red). Thats why I was wondering if I should use an Enamel(Testors) or an Acrylic(Tamiya)?

Front what ive seen or heard everyone usually uses brushes for the whole interior i myself just spray paint all the big parts like you asked and then do detailing to me it is much easier but i want to try P mans idea about the warming up the bottle and i also need to try that tape so i am not the expert at this but my guess would be yes paint all the major parts and then detail them very carefully........
