So in the process to going oem, long time ago i painted some parts in my car, silver like the SSIII look.
However it never grew on me, so i changed some parts in my car from a junkyard donor. but the tweeter covers and door switches i did not find, so i decided to soda-blast the old paint in it and put plastic coat black. amazing, the soda blast process gets into the little letters and removed all, and left plastic awesome to paint.. Just a thought. -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL

What type of paint did you use for this? Looks like a great end result. I imagine the same can be achieved by very careful sanding, followed by wet-sanding.
