Wow is right. I never dreamed that it could look that nice. When I hear about people painting interior trim I dont picture that.

Thanks for the positive comments, guys. A friend who has a lot of experience painting models helped me out with this project. You just have to take your time and have good attention to detail. We both agree the pieces turned out great - very high gloss.
The only other pieces I may paint are the "wings" that house the convertible top / defroster / etc buttons. Also thinking of covering the armrest lids with leather, but that'll probably have to wait.

Pretty nice Insite, you should paint the defroster vent trim now, just lift up on the alarm dome and the defroster vents are held in by clips just like the center console trim peices.

I pretty sure, dj, Ocean Jade Boxster owners are forbidden by law to identify other Boxsters as "tacky."

hehhe, maybe a good point, but i think that in that particular case there is just too much red going on, reminds me of the time my friend painted every single piece in the cabin that he could in his integra blue.
not trying to start anything tho

yeah, it's a lot of red. i left out the center console and arm rests. with the red racing harnesses, the whole package looks pretty slick in person. home now, so here's a better pic.

From 1997-2002, the interior "aluminum" look stuff was actually Arctic Silver.

With a properly applied clear coat the finish is pretty resistant to scratching.
It's even more resistant to scratching if you cover the high-traffic areas in stoneguard
