what kind of paint would/did you use to paint your interior trim pieces (like around the air vent, the center console plastic surrounding the shift knob and cd player, etc.) would you just use spray paint, or something a bit more complex?

can, or just get a cup of water and dunk the paper or poar the water over the part, anything to just keep it wet. but if you have a good spray bottle that would work pretty good.

thoes parts look very good, very smooth.. I helped a friend paint some parts on his dash, we used that FUSION plastic paint without any sanding (parts were not really sandable due to shape) anyway it worked pretty good, anyone else ever try the FUSION paint.

yup, ive read at least one other person who used the fusion line with good results..
i just prefer the testors cause of the much bigger selection. wink.gif
