Default Anyone ever paint their A/C - radio bezel?

I'm taking it out to replace the lights for the a/c controls. I figured I'd get this done too. Any tips would be appreciated.

i did with my old car. Just clean it off really well and go buy some Krylon (i think thats the name) spray paint for plastics. After cleaning I applied 2 coats I believe. It looked great, just made the car smell for a week or so. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the advice...The one on there now has some chips on it so I will have to do some sanding. Did you go with a flat paint. My interior is black on black but the plastic trim pieces do have a little sheen to them.

well my previous car was silver as mine is now, so I went with a silver metallic paint...it was not bright and obnoxious though. Just be sure that it is very clean before you paint. And be sure to hit all angles (I had to take mine back off because I am a perfectionist lol).

Exactly...I have to take it off anyway so I might as well make the most of it.
