04 sedan - Metra radio kits & painting plastic interior?
my main 2 issues with my 04 silver/black Aero Sedan are the painted silver interior trim, and the bose radio. my plan is to buy a new dash install kit and replace the radio completely with something nice that has ipod and usb integration (suggestions welcome). has anyone tried this kit?
second, while i've got the console pieces out, i want to paint the new dash kit as well as the whole centre console. i'm thinking of basic black with 3-4 clearcoats, though more matte than glossy since i'm looking for something more understated than shiny.
what do the experts think of this plan? is that kit garbage? is painting the stock pieces a terrible idea? as an insurance policy, i figure if i paint the Metra before putting it in, i'll have a good sense of what it looks like beforehand....
and if it works, i'll also paint the door handle covers and the pulls/locks too. bye-bye cheapo painted silver...
thanks peeps

anyone wanna pick apart my idea of painting this stuff myself? i figure all i really want is black all over the interior, and if it looks a bit off, i can get a kit from Burtman.
anyway, thanks.

"Just make sure and take your time, prep well and wetsand. "
Can you go into detail. I have no idea what you mean by "prep well" and "wetsand."
I have an 03.5 Sport but I would love the "non-sport" interior look on the center console. To complicate things, I have Navi and notice a button on top of the unit that needs to be painted also, is it easy to take off and on?
What is the best way for me to make is as scratch resistant as possible while making it easy to clean. Btw, I prefer a matte finish.
Thanks!
