interior paint, whats the best kind? Options

[Valo666]

Im plannin on painting the center console, vents, speaker covers and the trim on the door where the window switches are. I went to a local shop called performance improvements n they have "Interior paint - Perfect for carpet, plastics and every thing else", but the thing is they want $22 a can so i was wondering what kinda paint would b the best n will only run a few bucks a can. Also when duing the center console i want to paint really close to where the clock is..is there a way 2 remove the clock??

after a long time, maybe, but it shouldnt if you give it a good finishing coat. Besides, if it does, just sand it back down to the plastic and repaint it, or get new dash inserts. Personally, I plan on redoing my inserts eventually, but not for a few years, so if / when it happens, I guess that will be convenient for me. As for the clock, it and most other pieces that fit into the inserts (such as vents, knobs, etc) are locked in by wedges of plastic that can be pushed down to remove them, or the plastic around them can be lifted up. You can use a small flat head screw driver.
