I spent less than 10.00 doing this.....
Sanded alll the plastic down really good. Sprayed about 7 layers on. Then about 6 layers of clear.
Def do it yourself.
I am a retard when it comes to diy. But this is pretty easy and looks OEM.

just a suggestion...might be a silver overload..
painting plastic silver can turn out looking kind of cheap IMO...you could do black surrounds...like me. 
(pre-boost gauge pic) but you get the idea.

I suggest you use Plasti-Dip black if you want to keep the stock interior look..

I agree. Black is much better.
I don't even know why the hazard trim and ashtray is anything other than black plastic either. I like one consistent material through there. IMO.
