been doing mine all week,,,sand paper, primer and duplicolor paint with some clearcoat,,but make sure you ake a long time and do it right otherwise it looks majorly crappy
make sure you know what your doing befor you do it. If you screw it up and and have to peel or sand or rub out all the paint from all the peices you painted you will not be happy. trust me, I screwed up once and it took me like five ours of rubbing the trim with paint stripper to get everything off, and on top of that the paint stripper faded the origanal trim color. My advice is do one or two peices, like the ones on the side of the dash that you can't see when the door is closed, and paint those with all the nessesary steps (primer, paint, clear coat ...whatever) and let them dry over night. When they are done drying give them some abuse and see how well the paint withstands scraches and bups etc...
My second time around I used plasticolor import primer and paint and that was it. The problem is it never was really smooth, I probably should have sanded it. But it still looks good.
Be carfull, too many people F**k up their interiors trying to paint things.
Before I do mine again I'm going to call a paint shop of someone that does it profesinally. Mine looks nice but I still have to be carfull with it and it dosn't have that shiny look you see on show cars.

yeah FOLIATEC is good but expensive... Go to one of the Games Workshops where they paint those little action figures and stuff and play with them and crap. They usually have 'em in malls and crap.. They have nice colored paint...
