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.
