I used some high heat auto paint for mine. I put about 3 or 4 very light coats on it, then put about 2 coats of clear on it. It worked pretty well.


There is a picture of my vents. It was the only one I could find really....I had my dash all torn up when I was puttin in some guages. But you can see my vents nonetheless.

Thanks, I wish I could photoshop what I want my car to look like when I'm done. I'm planning on getting yellow racing seats with black harnesses, black/anthracite/gunmetal wheels with yellow painted calipers, tint my windows to give it a more dark look, accent some more interior pieces. I just wish I could photoshop what I want it to be, cause I think it would be awesome....even for someone who doesn't like yellow with black.

Here are some pics of some of the interior work I've done in my Neon and my Cherokee...

I used Krylon Fusion, it's worked out great...just be sure you don't get overzealous and lay on the paint too thick...THIN layers multiple times...don't gob it on there :P

I already told you in another post. There is a screw on each side of the dash, if you open the car door you will see it, then there is two screws in the defrost vent, and also two behind the vents in the center of the car. You will have to take the drivers and passenger side A-Pillars off as well, but after that it just pops up.

I actually took apart my whole interior and preped it and took it to a body shop and had them spray with Dupont Silver and had it cleared. They also put a flex agent in it so it wouldn't crack or peel in removal. It has the same durability as the car's exterior. It looks real good
