interior dash trim around radio Has any tried to paint the dash trim around their stock radio? I'm talking about the piece that pops off. I'm interested in doing it same as the body color--som.
thanks
thanks
You two got pics?
I was maybe thinking of doing mine in pewter, but I don't want it to look shitty. Either that or gloss black.

I done mine, plus the trim around the vents, door handle cups and peice that holds the buttons. I like it, its not the best paint jobs in the world but it beats the plain look of stock. I know a lot of you will think its too much, but I am happy with it.

I painted all of my pieces as well, but I'm 100% against going bright colors. They all turn out tacky and attract too much attention. I feel black is the best for any interior other than ebony (that has to be silver)
Mine's painted black (in a grey interior) and it stands out enough to be noticed, but still looks tasteful.

i personally feel that paiont doesnt belong on interior pieces. no im not saying that you cant get amazing results, jsut that it doesnt look right most of the time. bottom line is take your time and do it right, if your going to do it at all. paint is one of those things that you might fall into the good enough for now thinking, and next thing you know, you hate it.
