Looks pretty good. I think we all might have to do that if the stock trim keeps acting up.

What is wrong with the stock trim?

The stock silver trim tends to chip away very easily because it is single coat and has no type of sealant or clear coat.

I bought the paint from gm.. it is a direct match to the outside.. the paint is 10 bucks a can through the deal and it took two cans and then i bought the adhesive promoter and the clear coat from wal-mart for about 3 bucks a can and they are both made by dupli-color.... and then you need a pack of tack cloth and fine grit sand paper.... and it took about 8 hours to do...

Was it a pain to take the trim off and put back on?

it's not hard at all... just snaps off... you just have to be a little patient, and not a total wuss

I just took the trim pieces off last night, coated them Kylon fusion Grass Green, and than clear coated em after several coats of paint...putting the trim pieces in 2night and il show u how green looks on it, green and black colour combination

This is quite simple, just makesure u do alotta coats but makesure u dont put the paint on too thick, krylon fusion is great for this and u can get it at canadian tire or home depot

Looks pretty good man, I agree the knobs may be a little too much.

But all in all looks nice. I was wondering how that paint actually looked.
I've had a post it with the part number for that paint on my desk for months, lol

Here you guys go pictures looking from the outside in.. the pics are little dark because the windows are tinted but the color is an exact match to the car.. I help them up the car before i put them back in and they look good...ANd as for the knobs I wanted to do them because I havent seen anyone else with it done and I think it goes with the dash its self..

^^^Agreed, it sucks that they put the lighter under dash on some of the balts

It would **** me off to see a different color of plastic on the door and the dash where they meet.

they must have had extra black dashboards. where can I get the black section for around ac controls. i want to put my new dvd indash in and paint the rest in the center to match black. but i was looking and i would paint over all the writing around the controls if i did so.
