Change seats from black to white?

I am thinking about removeing my bench seat and putting buckets and a console in. I have a line on a set of black buckets that need recovering my interior is white. Question is has anyone had success painting the plastic parts from black to white? Any suggestions on the whole conversion are appreciated.

white to black is easier than the other way around. Black paint covers white much better. But I see you have a convertible, as long as those seats need to be recovered I suggest stay with White, much better in the sun. Its your car though so do what you want with it.

Many items in a white interior are black already (carpets, , console, sun visors, dash) so you would not have to change those. really you don't have to change anything but the back seat cover if you wanted to, but to make it right you have to change the door panels too and the coverings on the side of the convertible lifts

Vinyl dye works very well for any soft parts, and a good spray paint works well on all else. Make sure all parts are oil free and clean before spraying.

Vinyl dye works well on non-wear items, but will come off quickly on seat covers!
If it were me, I'd pop for covers that'd match the rear - not a big deal to install.
