Haven't ruined it yet and I don't plan on it. If I were to paint the bezels thank alah that they are just stock pieces that FOMOCO used in all mustangs. If they were Bullitt specific parts we wouldn't have this convo lol

I NEVER had good expereince painting interiors, my car came with the black/tan two tone and I hated it. I originally tried painting it all black and after awhile it just chips and looks like total crap. I decided to just find the black interior peices and swap it over, After having the complete black interior for about 4 years I actually just swapped the last peice, the dashboard, over the past few weekends. IMO if you really want an all black interior look for one from a 94-98 body, the interiors are interchangeable from 94-04.

+1 same here, it just seems like no matter how much you pay for the paint or how good it is, and no matter how much clear coat you put on it, your sleeve could brush acrossed it once and it will scratch, better off just replacing the parts with the color that was manufactured into it.

I said that because 9/10x ppl overdo it severely. Then they post pics and it looks like ****, they try to paint everything they can get their grimy little fingers on to pry off.

Im on the fence about it as well. The good thing is, if you mess it up or don't like how it looks, you can easily get replacement parts. Good luck with it man!

I think if you went with black it'd look fine (your interior is black right?)

Why paint it black when it's already black?

I've decided that my stinky opinion says don't do it. Like lizzy said, tacky.

Leave interior paint to those fiberglass fanatics at hot import nights. Original is the way to go. I know me saying that is contradicting because my shift boot and **** are aftermarket but subtle styling is the way to go. Interior paint is in no way subtle.
