yeah man, my sh it looks real good- most people think its oem unti li tell em i did it myself. i dont use that gaudy shiny paint, mine has a nice matte finish.

ok ok, ill tell you the truth- its a good idea to paint the center-radio console and the heat vents, maybe even the door handle trim... its not so great to pain the trim where the window controls are...its not good to paint the shift/cargo/e-brake trim... too much wear in those areas, it all just gets scrached and chipped.

Good: anything that makes driving it more fun
Bad: everything else

ps. It'll never be as fun as my old datsun though
