    I don't like the grey dash trim in my 2012 C, so I painted the larger piece black and the smaller trim piece orange to match my Habanero car color. (I figured I can always buy new trim if I screw up!) Thanks to the Japanese guys experimenting with these interior mods, and to member waka for posting it up, that's where I found the Tamiya color to match my car. :notworthy:


    The orange piece got Tamiya white primer, Orange, and Clear Finish coat. The quality came out pretty good (I'm no professional painter).

    You did such a good job.
    Pop those blue pieces and paint them habanero. ;)

    You also need to add a start stop switch to the blank area, it may not function but it makes it look so much better.

    ^ You're right, that would be cool. What else could go there? Map light?

    I think the grey console trim piece is next. And I need to do something with the shifter plate. :cool:

    ^^ haha, great idea!

    I like the blue trim too. I didn't change anything that was blue, only the light grey trim. :)

    I've seen buttons that go there that say "Engage" "Don't push me" "Turbo" and other random exclamations. I think Eject is the best.

    Was this a special paint designed to stick to plastic?

    SCH-I535 ?

    It's a spray lacquer found in well stocked hobby shops. Meant for plastic or metal.
    IDK how it'll stand up to temperature extremes or UV in a car... Meant to be on plastic or metal models kept indoors and under relatively climate controlled conditions.
    Time will tell.

    ^ It sure will! So far it all looks great. I figure I can always buy black 2013 pieces if these look bad after a while.
