Default Painting Plastic Console
I was thinking about starting a project with changing the color of the center console. Has anyone done this before? If so what paint would recommend?

Thanks

Contact C5 KiDD, he's a supporting vendor here and from what I heard and seen from other members, he's work is stellar and worth the money.
