I painted my radio. I was scared, but I think it turned out good...
Dont mind the stuff on the floor, and the missing ring around the key. Also i wanted to ask some ideas... Look at the radio pictures of it installed, and look at the faded black plastic just a little above it.. That happened when i was prepairing the plastic for paint.. Any ideas on fixing this ? I have not tried anything yet. its more than just a little above.. Just above the hazard button......

This is the radio reinstalled :)

The interior is not even close to being done, and needs to be detailed, but i am not going to spend the time makeing it shiny and make it dirt again in a few days........

I think that looks awesome.
As for the faded trim I would paint that whole section eithe rblack or silver, along with other contrasting details.

Keep up the good work.

That's sweet; it had to take some balls to pull out the paint can and point it at your radio faceplate...good results, though.

Thank for the compliments everyone I like it alot... Im thinking of painting the fadded black part a diferant color. Something like TA said. The good part is if i dont like it it isnt to expensive to replace that part and start over. I just need to decide what color, and if i will even it out with a few other places in the car....
