Default AC Gauges and updated painted pics

Finally got done installing the AC Guages and I also painted some more parts too. I painted the gauge bezel, the speaker covers and the xB emblem. I still need to paint the parts around the steering wheel though.
The box is kinda dirty too, I haven't had the time to clean.

Nice. I wish the pictures were smaller (doing a lot of this < and this > to see the pictures...)

Otherwise, I think well done.

What kind of paint did you use and did you leave on the xB emblem when you painted it?

Thanks guys. I used some Krylon Fusion paint for plastic. It's made for plastic and bonds to it. Any other paint I would have needed to prime. I sanded some just to get some of the texture off with 600 grit sand paper. Put about 2 coats on it then I wet sanded with the same grit then painted one more coat.
The xB emblem came of the rear of the trunk and I painted it before I put it on with some 3M double sided tape.
