The TIE Interceptor uses the TIE Fighter's texture.

Because it's a handy tool and something you'll need to learn how to do anyway, I would suggest downloading a hex-editor (I like XVI32). You can use a hexeditor to open a mesh (.msh) file and search for the texture(s) it uses (.tga files). That way, you can know what to retexture, even if the name doesn't immediately make it apparent.

Two other programs that tell you what TGAs the model uses are the MSH Viewer and Notepad, although I don't reccommend either for hex-editing.
