I've done this to my car also, but I painted all the dash trim pieces, including my pillar pieces. All flat black, it took a while too. I will post pics.

i painted everything... the ACD surround, the top long piece, the shifter console and the gauge panel. Looks much classier i think

+1. Take off the parts you would like to get painted. Then go to your local paint shop. Have them paint the pieces the color you want. Its worth the extra money. I had this done when I had an SRT-4. I didnt go overkill mode though. I just had a few pieces painted. You have to find the right balance or it will be rice.

OP, you should have maybe used some sand paper as well... maybe even a clear coat.

Then it could have looked like this

Very nice!
