Looks great! I want to refinish my interior plastics with the interior paint as well (faded or scratched) and go from charcoal to black. Great job!

I did mine around November, and I dont DD it but i do drive it a good bit. The paint seems to hold up really well i have hit and banged on the kick panels a few times and it scuffs about like stock with no paint loss that i can see. Just take some interior cleaner to it and good as new.

i removed all the trim surrounding and taped. then sprayed in the car. I would say 5 cans total. The lower console was an ebony piece i found out of a 2k mile formula. its like new. when the compartment lid gets some elbow grease on it, it should match perfect

Looks awesome man! What paint did you use? Did you just do one coat of adhesion promoter and then one coat of paint? Also, where'd you get those seats from? They look almost exactly like the 6LE seats..how do they feel?
