Default Interior Paint? Console etc.

Anyone done their own in the garage. What kind of sand papers did you use and paint? I did my own rear fascia and it turned out great with pin stripe on the edge. Thinking about spending a day doing my console and doors at the bottom.

I did my own console.... didn't want the smooth, shiney look, so I just primered and painted. Used Duplicolor (matched to exterior color) and clear coated it. If I just simply used 00 steel wool in between to get rid of specs and lumps. I've had no issues since.

Did the same with my speaker grilles and door handle cups...

I painted my new dual gauge A pillar oak to match my interior (commemerative). Got the paint from a local company that sells to auto body shops. It is a special paint for flexible parts.
