If you're going to do somthing with the interior, don't paint it. Try to wrap it in CF or get that sticker CF

hey man painting the interior may be ghetto or rice but obviously you have accepted that and still want to do that so what you want to do is remove all the peices you want to paint. sand them down pretty smooth and then use some bondo and apply it as smooth as you can after drying you sand it perfectly smooth then you can take it to a body shop where they primer it paint and clear coat it and it will look awesome!! but if you do with with spray paint it might not look nearly as good any ? just pm me

I wouldn't do it because it's just ricey.. but if you do make sure you prep the peices.. cleaning, sanding primer etc... If you don't do it right you will be repainting these pieces all the time.

Oh yeah and this will probably lower the value of your car.. and all the pieces you paint will have to be replaced if you ever decide to go back to stock.

This seems to be a common practice with the local domestic rice (neons,cavi's) Rather than buy a new part why not paint the old one a new color
