  • How to I chage this interior color?

    Hey, i wanted to get my parking brake chrome, my radio trim, and the trim around the instruments chrome. How do I do that on the interior? Do I just remove it and paint it? Here's and example but this guys is grey.

    the pieces just pop right off and you can paint them, i'm not sure if you can get chrome though...

      take them off, sand them, paint them, then clearcoat them. its harder than it sounds if you've never done it before.

        Much harder than it sounds, trust me [img]tongue.gif[/img] I used 400 and 800 grit sandpaper to smooth out everything, then used duplicolor spray praint then duplicolor clear coat. I used primer on a couple pieces, but I can't remember which because they all look the same. They do sell chrome paint, but I hear it doesn't look very "chromy"

          chrome paint will not exactly look chrome. It will look more like a really bright aluminum. i would suggest a different color.
