you got to have the mad skills of hkspowers to do a SIGNATURE paint job on the interior. Everyone that has seen the work I did on the cars thinks it was done by a body shop. The trick is to sand, degrease, sand, degrease, I'm talking sanding all the way down to 1500 grit sandpaper my plastic pieces are glossy just from sanding before I spray them. The paint adhears fine. Oh yeah and be a master of clearcoat. So that the pieces come out shiny not just "spray paint" looking. Each piece has 3 coats of primer, 3 coats of paint, and 3 coats of clear, sometimes more. And People it is painted so You can buff it with wax after it has cured to get that extra sheen out of it. Also helps to protect it and prevent yellowing.

Well Most people don't think it is cheesy if done right, hell some cars come like that now, the new bugs for instance.

dude regardless of what everyone says, it should be about what you want to do to your car man! if done right, painting your interior will look nice! I had mine done in my sedan a while back and right before I sold it I was about to redo it the correct way. Either way, like I said if it is done right it will look nice!
