I took the dash apart and painted the covers the same color as the outside paint is. Tell me what you think. It looks even better in person.

It looks great

But I really question how its going to look in 1 month, 1 year.

Spray paint never sold me on its durability

I sanded, primed, painted and clearcoated it all as if it were on the outside. It is the same paint i used to match my front bumper when I hit something and scratched it. That was 6 months ago on the bumper and it still looks good. So we will see.

my inside was a little bland. All black or dark woodgrain. I took my time and painted 4 coats of paint, sanded it, applied 3 more coats and the 2 coats of clear. I hope it always looks this good, because it looks like Nissan did it.

Looks sharp,

Just wondering if you painted over the woodgrain or if the bezel was originaly colored plastic?

Black plastic. I wish it was wood grain on there. I would not paint on that. If it were wood grain it would've saved me some time. LOL
