Z3 interior coverings replacements ideas

I need ideas what costs if you have them.
I am in the middle of making a dash for my Z3, I am not sure what finish to have. something period to what the car would be leatherette would be good but I would think almost impossible to get around all the shapes.
work in progress

carpets are another one a lot of awkward shapes to get around I normally use 4 way stretch on the roof and around the parcel shelf. but it can not be used as carpet it would look good till you used it

Agree with flocking. A mess to do, but results are worth it.

thanks for the replies I think the paint option is the one I was more thinking of what casamolino has used. I was actually thinking of a textured stone chip same sort of idea or hammerite spray.just waiting on some release wax to make a mould off it before I fit it then I can use it on the next build too after I have put so much work into it
