Default Interior Trim Paint
Is there any easy way to paint the satin black pieces with the raised chrome bits? Specifically the piece that the wiper switch is in? (71). That corvette logo will be tough to mask well. And while I'm at it any good source for correct satin black paint? Just about everything except the radio console (new) needs fresh paint...

I've painted mine. (not the correct black) I did not mask anything. I just used a razor blade to gently scrape the chrome parts. Here are some before and after pics:
