Hi,
I am trying to liven up my interior a little, its completely stock at the moment. I was thinking of painting the plastic trim that is around the stereo, and maybe where the door handle is also. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get the stereo surround off and also, what preparation is required on the plastic and what paint to use. Thanks -------------------- 2 X ST165 GT4's

armrest is not painted...its vinyl i tried my damnedest to get it wrinkle free so i added those folds for character...i could have made it in 3 peices but i wanted it one peice it looks good enough for me....and for carbon fiber coating google 3m di-noc carbon fiber vinyl....that is the best stuff i have came across it will mold very easily with alittle heat from my research....i was going to do carbon fiber but i decided this way for now i still might do some carbon fiber details here and there....
