I have some Chrome spray paint at home, Im going to paint my rings with that tonite, Ill take pictures in the morning or at work tomorrow once im finished. FINGERS CROSSED since i know chrome spray paint wont look like a mirror finish but atleast it'll be close to a glossy silver.

Well I finished the job, lets just say... NICE!
I scuffed the surface after masking the cluster and before painting the rings so the paint would stick nice and good, I had to lay it on nice and thick and slow so i can get a texture free finish. I tried to paint my sidekick2 with this chrome paint and didnt get this great of a result like i did on the gauges.

Oh yeah, i also painted the trim around the radio, I scuffed it, painted it with 2 coats to fill the bumpy texture, then sanded it smooth then repainted it with 2 coats to give it that smooth shine. I think im going to paint the rest of my interior parts on the weekend.

Yes sir, they were the only peices i could pull off the interior in a moments notice.
Does anyone know how to remove the interior air vent blade, so that i may paint the housing and not the blades?

great idea on painting those gauge rings. Its funny those silver rings are extra $$ even on the 911 Turbo. I've seen plenty of $100K with black rings while my little Boxster has them!
