Hi,
I am trying to liven up my interior a little, its completely stock at the moment. I was thinking of painting the plastic trim that is around the stereo, and maybe where the door handle is also. I was wondering if anyone knew how to get the stereo surround off and also, what preparation is required on the plastic and what paint to use. Thanks -------------------- 2 X ST165 GT4's
