Interesting thread. I wonder how well the dyed black hard plastic pieces would color match the existing Mazda black plastic bits? In your case this probably doesn't matter since you're re-coloring the entire interior, but if one was to start with a mostly black interior and could only find parts in other colors to complete it, it would be nice to only have to dye the parts that didn't match the original black.

My paint is fine after 2 years. I cleaned with dish soap, lightly sanded for better adhesion, rinsed with rubbing alcohol, and then sprayed with Krylon plastic spray.
