Painted Interior Plastic Trims

Previously, I had wrapped my center air-vent in brushed aluminium 3M Di-Noc to match my silver side air-vents (details about this can be found here). However, I now like the gloss black versions that come on the new megane 265, I think it looks much better so decided to gloss black some interior trims myself. I decided to paint the following parts in gloss black:

• Center and Side dashboard air-vent trims
• Interior Door Handles (possibly exterior handles too)
• Centre Console

I had some time last week and weather was good so managed to complete the air-vent trims. The interior door handles and centre console is to follow maybe sometime next week.

I'm also thinking to paint the lower-section of the carbon-style dashboard trim. The lower-section is factory painted in silver. I'm thinking to paint this in yellow and planning to do this end of the month. (***UPDATE*** This has now been painted, pics can be found here)

Below are pics of my DIY painting of the air-vent trims. I was after a deep-gloss finish, which comes from several layers of wet sanded clear-coat.
