Default Interior mainly dash

how do you paint the ***** or dials that you use to cnge the air and stuff? is it expensive? is there somehwere I can just buy appliques? I have no clue how to but it's pretty much the one thing I want to do with the interior of my xB.

This is what I'm looking for but a green that will match the camo metallic xB

Thanks, I should now be able to do it, and I'm well on my way to making my box very special. I'll post pics in about a month or so.

Damn, beat me to the links. Make sure to utilize the search function and make full use of the forums features. Lots of good information if you search for it and reduces forurm clutter, no?

yea I read the part about how you sand the pieces down and make everything smooth to get rid of the rough stock look, but if I don't sand it, it will still work right?

Yes, the paint will stick, but if the part you are painting has texture, then it will still have the texture after painting. Clean the plastics with Dawn or equivalent first, and use adhesion promoter.
