I painted my interior trim back in 2008/9 and it still looks as shiny as the day I completed it, I found that lot's of prep and cutting back was the key.
Here's my posts from way back.

Help required with interior trim!

I did a bit more to my interior last week!

Not as difficult as I thought it was going to be.

I absolutely love the color you chose, in fact its my favorite color! Thinking if it would match some interior bits in my silver on black S... thank you for the photos!
