Much better. Very clean look now. What colour, type of paint did you use?

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

Looks the goods. I think this is the first time someone has said "hey, I painted the inside of my car" and it actually looked good ;)

Stuff goes here

The matt looks a million times better than that marble effect. Nice work.

lol ML of course its a manual... cant you see his stealth hidden clutch pedal :ph34r: oh and the AT switch just to trick you some more :lol: anyway.. That looks real clean mate, what kinda prep work did you have to do prior to painting it? EDIT: my mistake, he has gone the super fandangled electric clutch.. thats why there is a button on the stick...

Rubbed it backwith 400 then 800 wet and dry. Plastic primer then 3 light coats then 1 heavy coat of paint

Unlucky.

Unlucky I don't think so. Also I am glad I don't have that blue and black interitheir is shocking..anyway back onto the topic of painting

Yeah I used satin black. Looks very very good. Wet sand back, wait till dry and do a stack of light coats.
Mine turned out awesome!!

Go to Bunnings and get some matte black spray paint, some primer, and some 200-220 grit sand paper

Sand back the plastic
Spray over with the primer
Wait to dry
Spray with matte black paint - very light, even coats and waiting for it to completely dry in between.
