Has anyone used any interior trim paint LIKE THIS , either in their Pros, or any other car?

I'm close to ordering a nice silver, to bighten up the "bronzish" bit in the P5, and hopefully match the aluminum look of the new deck I'm soon to install.

I don't want it to be glossy paint, though - I like the "flat" look of the stock color, but want to change the color itself. And I also want a "smooth" silver - not a big-flake, sparkly, disco-ball look.

Has anyone used any of the silver interior paint? Do you think I'll be able to get it to look nice, and not "sparkly" or glossy?

Would regular spray paint last? This interior paint I am looking at is ~$15 / can, but is supposed to be really high quality.

Help me, my head is spinning

not sure about the paint....why are you getting rid of the MP8017? Are you getting a rockford fosgate deck (you mentioned silver)?? I didn't get one becuase of that natural color on the dash.

RockFos? Oh no, I'm sticking with Kenwood, but I am getting a sweet double DIN deck that plays MP3s - the only one I've found.
Check it out here if you want - should be phat. I just got sick of the single DIN/pocket look, and wanted to keep the MP3 capability.

Still investigating the paint - I'm sure I'll be able to match it up, as I was planning on painting the trim a brighter silver anyway.

BTW, if you (or anyone else, for that matter) is interested in any of the Kenwoods at the website linked above, many of them are NOT out for retail sale in the US. I've got a guy who can get them, and I can lock up a nice price on most of the units - toss me an email if you are interested.

That deck is awesome!!!! Very expensive though. My good friend works at a paint shop and they sell paint for every application. I will find out from him tonight what you could get from a local shop. They could match colors for ya....I'll keep you informed....

Ignore that price (and any of the others at that site)!!! It is in Australian dollars, I think. I can get them for around HALF that price - no problem. Anyone interested, either post or send a private mesage - I'll get with you ASAP.

And thanks for the paint info - that'd be very cool - I think you understand the look I'm after - same as stock, but different (LOL)

Just brighter silver, but not flaky or glossy.

Keep us updated on the price on that deck. I will definetly be interested. Will let you know what I find out about the paint.
