Hey everyone.

I feel that its time to make my interior look different.

Obviously people have done this before, but i'd like to match the paint of my car, and paint the two air vent bezels, stereo and gear box bezels.

What do i need to in order to make this look smooth, and professional looking? and not tacky? I'm guessing i need a plastic primer, a can of touch up paint, and some type of clear coat?

And if anyone has, can you please put some pictures up (if you've done something similar), so then i can see how much of a difference it makes...

Thanks ! biggrin.gif

Yeah, i've already been quoted around 30 NZD for a can of colour matched paint (which i thought wasn't bad) and he said that they have clear coat and plastic primer as well.

Soda blasting... Thats a new one. Time to google this.

sodablasting gets into all the little crevices, and leaves a ready to stick surface.
