Im painting some of the interior pieces in my car, I was going to use glossy paint but I'm out. All I have is flat paint and clear coat. Should I paint the pieces flat and call it a day or flat w/clear coat? All im doing is the defroster vents on the dash and the door handle trim, they are going to be black just to accent my grey interior a bit. How do you think I should paint them?

 

thanks to all 10 of you that viewed who replied, your help made me make the right decision when I chose to paint the pieces w/hi temp flat black paint, it has the same luster as the original piece so it's a good match. If I had a digi cam i'd post pics but I don't so I wont.

 

Well I am glad it came out.

 

same here

 

Well, now that im looking at them again, im kinda thinking about putting some clear on em. I don't know, still kinda undecided. I mean, w/just the trim of the door handles painted, it looks sweet, nobody will know they didn't come like that unless I tell them or if they just know about honda's. I think a gloss or semi-gloss would stand out more, be more of a contrast w/the rest of the handle but I think I can live with it as is, for now at least

 

borrow a digicam..i wanna see

 

I'll see what I can do, but to be honest, I seriously doubt you'd be able to see the difference. But I'll see if I can get ahold of one.
