Painted interior pieces

I didn't take pics of the process....just a lot of sanding (400-1k),primer and some paint that was madeup.The first time i did this the was too light so i mixed some black to darken it and it also has some flake that was added, but anyways here are some pics. (I call it Tian II hahha)

Very well done, Krysten! Little bit of orange peel, but hard to avoid that when you're DIY.

Is it just the picture or is this not snapped in all the way? Looks like there is a gap, but it might just be the shadow in the picture. Then again, there shouldn't be a shadow lol. You sure it's snapped in all the way?

Looks nice! Did you make the shift **** (the crystals) or did you buy it like that? I've been meaning to add crystals to my AT ****. I just haven't gotten around to it.

That would be awesome. I think it would be too much for my car, but a pic would help figure that out.

But no, I'm a guy...and I'm 100% hetero. Pink font is because I got bored of black and I wanted somethin different. I have Swarovski crystals in several different places in/on my car. I'm going for an exotic/luxury look.

I like painted interior when its done right with fiberglass. For DIY, this doesnt look bad though.
