Interior parts that could be removed and sprayed include heater control knobs, the plastic surround trim around the heater controls, interior door handles, grab handles and the pillar trim.

To spray them....remove from the car, then spray with etching primer, spray with the desired colour with a few coats then lacquer for a nice shiny finish, Then refit to the car and job done  :wink:

Any plastic parts should be washed in hot soapy water, and keyed with grey Scotchbrite (Halfords} till they have a lightly scuffed appearance, then washed thoroughly, dried with a hair dryer, de-greased, them primed with a suitable plastic primer left for 10/15mins then lightly painted one coat at a time....
