I recently painted some of my interior plastic parts black using VHT satin black plastic paint. I changed my guage trim from grey to black so it matches the rest of the dash and i think the contrast with my polished aluminum trim rings will be improved. I also got a set of 1982 door sills and painted them black. This year door sill will match my 4th gen seatbelts perfectly because they were designed to have a bolt rather than a retractor on the bottom. Let me know what you think! Here are the before and afters:

Very nice!
im painting all my interior plastic panels from grey to black..Whered u get that stuff? did u have to use a primer before?

 

cool stuff, i did every panel in my interior from red to black with krylon fusion. That stuff worked well for me.

 

was there any sanding involved or did you just clean them up a bit and spray em?

 

I got the paint from a local performance automotive store. I'm not sure of any chains that would carry it. The can states that if you're going from a dark to light color, there is a dark primer they suggest. I didn't use a primer since it was already a dark color going to black. I did however clean the parts very well before painting. I mixed dish soap with hot water and scrubbed the parts very well using a small nylon bristled brush. Then rinsed them well and was sure not to handle the surfaces that were painted so I didn't get any oils on the parts. I applied about 5-8 thin coats using the method described on the can.

The real test will be how they hold up over time, but so far the finish appears to be durable.
