Painting interior

Has anyone tried to paint parts of their interior? My gta ha black leather seats and I was thinking it would look cooler with the center console painted black and maybe all the plastic pieces

Advice? Opinions?

Re: Painting interior

I've found that self etch primer works better than any adhesion promoter that I've tried. Give it a shot!

Whatever works for you - but I found the adhesion promoter worked great. Self etching primer is for metal.

Re: Painting interior

I'm aware. I was doing my hood louvers and needed to re shoot a part. It was really late and all I had was sem self etch. Never had an issue with pops or fish eyes since. Then again, these parts were probably soaked in armor all hundreds of times since the 80s. I chose to recondition the old plastics and save some coin.

Whatever works!
