painting interior

[Russki]

I have a '90fb maroon with a black interior and grey upholstry. &nbsp;I just put in my deck from my old car and it's silver so it doesn't match anything inside. &nbsp;Just for shits and giggles I thought that if I paint some of the interior plastic (not all of it) that it would look good. &nbsp;Maybe even change the steering wheel and shift knob to make it match a bit better in addition to the paint. &nbsp;Has anyone done this and do you think it will look shitty? &nbsp;I welcome all suggestions, comments and torments. &nbsp;Thanks. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

It'll look great. &nbsp;Been done many times. &nbsp;There are Dash kits you can get too. &nbsp;I'm too tired to find the link right now, but My240likenoother has a few pics of his interior up here:

I wouldnt paint the shift knob, just get a nice brushed aluminum replacement. &nbsp;Make sure you get a spray paint that dries hard. &nbsp;Make sure you give it a few light coats. &nbsp;Dont spray too much at a time, or it will drip and run..and that looks like crap. &nbsp;Dont be afraid to go over it lightly first, let it sit over night, then spray it again. &nbsp;Just make sure its totally clean before you spray it, and between coats. &nbsp;If its not cleaned right, the paint will NOT stick correctly. &nbsp;Years of Armor All have probably built up, so try and spray some sort of grease cutter spray (formula 409 or something) on it for starters. &nbsp;Make sure theres no dust on it when you go to give it a 2nd and 3rd coat of paint.

Use a few coats of krylon primer, then a bajillion coats of the krylon finish paint. Worked out great in my car. Dosen't chip or anything.

Thanks for the replies. &nbsp;I know how to paint it and I will spend a lot of time on it to do it right the first time. &nbsp;The player that i'm matching everything to is gonna be thrown out cuz it makes road noise, so I'll have to rethink the whole idea.
