vent/trim painting
i read the howto, where it says to use rim paint. I was thinking of using krylon plastic paint. Just wondering what types all of you have used? I am going to paint them black but i dont want it to be glossy so most likely a flat black. Going to paint the vents, trim around the handles and switches, etc

you can get a flat clear coat. Most glossy clear coats aren't that glossy anyways. If you don't do the clear, it's going to get scratched really easily.
Just do many light coats and you'll be all set.

I used vinyl and fabric stuff that said it was made for dash kits...my @$$. I prepped it like crazy and most turned out ok, but some of them ended up like crap. I've redone my center dash piece (the one with the clock) and the shift **** (manual) peice three times now, and i've sanded it so many times it looks like crap. Anyone want to give me or sell me those two peices??

I used the krylon metallic silver paint (about 6 coats) and then used 10 coats of clear! It's time consuming, but the outcome is strong and the pieces don't scratch at all. You have to really hit the pieces to scratch them. Make sure you use an automotive adhesion promoter first, it will make your life easier!
