Default Need help with painting interior trim.

Hello

I want to paint the trim around stereo, shift **** and door handles. All of my interior is black as well as the car. I want to paint the trim the same color as the car. Having the smoth black paint inside would look great. I was wondering if anyone has done this to there car. If so, any suggestions or pictures?

Thanks.........Jr

Just completed mine in pewter. Requires a lot of sanding and time/patients.




Good Luck, Hope this helps.

I have a few Word files that I have saved up over the years on painting interior/engine pieces. Be glad to send them to you if you PM me your e-mail address. They might help you out a bit.

If you don't want to paint them yourself though, C5 KIDD sells some awesome painted interior components.

Brian, who is a Forum Vendor, did mine and I love it. Quality work - good price. I considered doing it myself but frankly if you aren't prepared to invest the time to prep and apply the paint correctly, it simply isn't going to hold up. I didn't want to risk it.

Hopefully Brian will be painting mine this weekend. Took your and others advice Barry and went with the spiral grey. Didn't want anything too over the top.
