Hey,
I have seen silver parts for the inside of the xB.... but has anyone seen gold colored parts? (doorsils, shift ****, etc.) I think gold colored parts would look GREAT in my car.

You could always take your parts and have them made golden I guess.

Yes, spraypaint can do many things. That does sound like it would look pretty good

Don't spray them, have them plated. Ask your local dealer where they get their plating done. Chances are that there is someone that comes by once a month or so to do plating on the lot for them. Real gold baby!

just out of curiousity how would you plate gold onto something plastic? I don't see how that is possible.

I don't really know, but it seems to work. Maybe someone else on here does it as a side biz and can explain better.

Sorry I can't be of more help.

you can chrome plate plastic so why not gold plate.. the dealers have some guy that comes to custom gold plate parts and they are plastic to start with so there is a way.

There are some things to do yourself (stereo installation, etc). There are a few things you should leave to professionals (serious suspension tuning, body work, paint, etc.). This is one of the things you want to leave to the pros.
