Very Nice...If you don't mind me asking what type of paint did you use to paint the interior parts that the radio sits between....I was wanting to do this but have no clue which paint would be best....Thanks...

You can use any paint color you wish. It's all in the preparation that'll matter - you should sand the pieces with a 200-300 grit, then a 400 grit, and finally to a 600 grit. The surface should be smooth enough where once you apply primer, the actual paint will adhere to the primer, and then gloss to finish the pieces off.

Short version:
clean pieces, sand, sand, sand, apply primer, paint, gloss.

I used spray paint that was matched to the color of the car. I had t sand down the trim pieces to remove the factory texture and then applied 3 coats of primer, 3 coats of "Super Red V", and then 3 coats of clear. Giving each coat plenty of time to dry before the next coat/color/clear. took me about 3 days for all of it.
