I've seen many cars with nice custom interiors, painted different colours, like silver, red, or blue... My question is, in order to paint the dash/air vents/etc., what type of paint is needed? Is it easy t do it yourself, or should someone with no experience get a professional to do it?

Very true. Pretty much any type of paint will work. The trick is definitely making sure the surface is absollutely perfectly clean. Sanding helps. I didn't sand mine the first time, and it turned out really bad. I had to sand it all down (with paint on, a huge pain) and paint it again. The most important thing to remember is LIGHT coats.

I prepped mine with a sponge/alcohol. I didnt sand mine, I prefer the OEM feel/look.<P>after prepped (and I wore rubber gloves so that the oil from my hands didnt get on the plastic. Scrub it good. I used a sponge.. less lint.<P>Then I use krylon satin that way its not Flat but not that ugly glossy look (my opinion). I sprayed LOTS of VERY LIGHT COATS, 1 at a time and let each dry. Do Not rush it! u will mess it up. Dont touch it until its done. Krylon dries fast too. after that<BR>Spray LOTS and LOTS of satin white clear coat to protect it in light layers, same way as you did the painting.<P>Your done when it dries!!<P>

That pic looks really awesome...<P>Thans for all the info guys.
