Take your time. Be sure to get ALL of the factory Porsche paint off the parts before you try painting. Use a good primer, and start with light coats. It's going to take a long time if you want a good finish.

be sure to get some denatured alcohol and clean the parts after you have prepped them. then, clean them again.

Use clean rubber gloves to prevent hand oil. Then clean them again.

The extra effort will ensure a great lasting finish. Good luck

about the blades, i think ur better off leaving them in there and masking them off.
this is y i think so: if you take them out and paint the trim piece, its easy part done, but it will be hard putting them back in there without scratching the newly painted piece

Well i wont be able to paint my interior peices this weekend, Instead i will be waiting in front of Best Buy in Pasadena to get a Nintendo Wii. I was totally cheated out my spot in line for a ps3... Lets just say people made a list of friends that came before us and didnt show up until the store opened and were given a ps3 unlike the rest of us that waited inline assuming it was First Come First Serve like they told us.
