I painted the upper radio panel, but waiting to get help with taking apart the lower controls so I can paint the lower panel (as well as the knobs). Another question I have other than that help is, what color border do you think I should do (plastics around the middle). Car is flint mica, and the radio/control plastics are black. Was gonna do flint mica around it, but I almost feel like a different color than the exterior but something tht will look good coinciding with exterior flint mica.

As for the color you could go with a gunmetal blue or something simiar, that might look cool with the mica color IMO. |

Thanks, that's what I thought. I tried taking the harness' out and they are in there pretty good. Then speaking of those clips that are on the sides of the plastic, I tried takin those off too and they're on there pretty darn good.
I got satin black hoping to match a little bit of the dash but it's so so much darker than the rest of the dash :(. Will post pics if I can get the bottom plastic out. |

I just finished paining mine about an hour ago, letting it dry for a couple more hours before putting it back in:
It's actually a little darker than it looks in the picture, came out pretty good though I think for a first-time mod |

Pretty much done......not sure if I like the black, lol. I might end up using paint thinner and going back to the silver :/

Just reinstalled my trim: Definitely makes the dash pop now. I think I might take the white vent pieces out and paint them black along with the side trim pieces (hazard lights and passenger lights). Should look really cool once I get all my LEDs installed where I want them. Thanks for this DIY, that was fun and way easier than I'd expected |

I used satin black thinking it would be a little duller, but it makes the rest of the dash look gray/that much duller. I like the black, but I don't like the way it makes the rest of the dash look. I'm definitely keeping my knobs black if I do end up changing the color of the panels though. It's gonna take a while for them to try so I'll post pics and get suggestions after.

It was getting dark outside by the time I got it all put back together, but here it is. I will post another when I get a pic of it during the day. Any more suggestions for the border? That red looks good on the gt, but I want something that won't look odd with exterior flint mica.

Any thoughts on any of these colors to border the black/radio plastics? Possible to photoshop? Colors are on the bottom of the web pages....

I am actually working on a nice interior paint Job to mtch the racing seats and harness I'm getting I'll post pic of the peices that I did so far.
Depends on how your gonna paint em. If your just repainting use a 380 grit sandpaper from 3m and just sand it up and down to scuff em up a bit (Usually till the plastic is dull and not shiny anymore). use a layer of plastic adhesion promotor. then primer. paint. clear. buff, wax. BAM! show quality interiors
