to those who have had their trim painted, or painted it themselves:

1. what type of paint did u use? acrylic/flat/gloss??

2. does clear coat really look that good?

3. where can i get some of that interior paint? or can i just use regular old spray paint?

please let me know, i've got a red 98' GT, and i want me a red trim around my radio, and shifter....and maybe on vents...please help confused.gif

I did mine with normal white paint and then I did about 5-6 coats clear and it looks sweet. You can use high gloss paint if you wanna, but the clear coat helps it from mild scratches and nicks.

i used testors model enamel spray...worked real well...i used a clear-coat also..i think it looks better IMO with it, and adds a little protection for the color. biggrin.gif
