Im plannin on painting the center console, vents, speaker covers and the trim on the door where the window switches are. I went to a local shop called performance improvements n they have "Interior paint - Perfect for carpet, plastics and every thing else", but the thing is they want $22 a can thumbsdown.gif so i was wondering what kinda paint would b the best n will only run a few bucks a can. Also when duing the center console i want to paint really close to where the clock is..is there a way 2 remove the clock??

How durable is doing this? I would like to do it but don’t want to do it now then 3 months down the road have to do it again. It sounds simple enough if you just take your time. How long has this lasted for someone who has actually done it?

You are painting plastic. There is nothing special about it, really. Ever paint models as a kid? If you use the right primer, paint, and finish, it will last a long time.
