Re: Interior Trimming?
I think you can go to any spray shop and just do a spray job, won't be cheap..but i reckon it will cost around 150? At least its cheaper than buying off the shelf ...
PML sells them around 300+ if im not wrong.... go call them up and check?

Re: Interior Trimming?
Hmm...this was yesterday...today i finished sanding it...my right arm's tired...haha...next i have to spray it..Wait...i don't have the primer...i guess i won't use it...too lazy to look for it..hmm...oh i tried spraying the chrome on a plastic bag to make sure it doesn't "eat" my trims...it looks a tad too bright...and when i sprayed the clear spray...it became a dull aluminium colour... hmmm...how? should i continue or get a new colour...should i just do chrome...hmmm...what a dilemma....

Re: Interior Trimming?
Looks like you went through the same process as me.
Hope my DIY process helps you a little. Do show the results once you're done!!!
