Default Interior paint mod

Just a few pics of my interior mod. I painted both A/C duct bezels to black from the factory silver. As well I did the radio bezel and centre console and chrome trim ring to black too.

Looks decent, what kind of paint did you use?

I used Dupli-Color trim paint and clear coat.

Looks good. The "Bling Ring" around the shifter is a must-do mod for everyone. After all the complaints I can't believe RAM is still putting that chrome abomination out like that.

Looks good, I did a similar thing when I got my truck, Here is what mine looks like. I never did all of the other trim pieces like it looks like you did. I did mine because that Chrome ring was shining right in my eye and after pulling it all apart idecided to paint the whole thing. Nice to see I am not the only one who did this!

I like the look.

I was thinking about a trim kit to cover the chrome look, but they can look cheesy.

On a scale from 1 to 10, how hard was it to remove/replace the trim pieces?

(I afraid I would break them)

I would say the centre console was easy 3 but side ac vents were a little tricky 7 have to watch you don't muck up the dash around them when prying them out.
Just take your time and use a trim removal tool
