Default painting inside of car

Hey I am thinkin of maybe painting different parts of the inside of my car. I don't know how to really explain what I am talkin about but I am sure most of you know what I mean. Like paiting the area around the cd player and the vents and the ***** and in between and maybe around the part of the dash around your guages. My question is how hard is this? Any suggestions on where all to paint? Any pictures from people who have done it and other interior ideas? What kind of paint should I get, is this something I could do ezily by myself or do I need a pro, and if so what all do I need to get to do it....type of paints etc...?

My car is bright yellow so I was thinkin about doing this yellow also.. Thanks guys

Good help...

You could just go and get a good primmer, color, and clear just in spray cans. You would have to sand a little, but it is pretty easy. Maybe bring it to a body shop and have it done.

You can get what ever paint you want..I hear krylon plastic paint works well...just get all 3 the same. and yes, you have to sand it.

You should try it out on something first before you mess up you car.

1st thing is to wash the parts and wash them again and again armor all is the enemy!!! then wax and grease remover on it wipe on with one rag dry with another do this alot 3-4 times then take a grey scotchbrite pad scuff all the parts up(nock the shine out) this will not hurt the grian on the parts(dont tri to sand out the grain) then lightly coat with a adhesion promoter then your choice of topcoat
