Also, you talk about how to do it... but how much paint should one get (especially since I'm planning to do the outer pieces in one color, and the center piece in a different color)? I think the clearcoating stands out too much, but would not clearcoating make it look too dull?

1 can per color will be enough for the interiour depending how much your painting or how many times you do it, 2 cans to be safe and than maybe 2 clans of clear coat for the whole car.

Haha flea I did the same thing with the boot cause i was tired of that stupid looking ____ guide plate and its bland nature. Now when I show ppl my car at school their all like "Oh so its a manu...wait no clutch?!" Its a good laugh most the time. But I had a question about how I get to the side vents on the dash board?

^ Color matched PPG OEM paint mixed by some really cool friends of mine at the local paint store. Duplicolor's version of BSP is really just....well, black paint.
Anything else, feel free to ask!
