ok, i am new to the whole modding of cars, i have my first car which is a 1.2 sxi 3 door w reg corsa, black. not many mods to it yet but i have a week to spare at home. i want to be able to paint the interior parts for example
http://i602.photobucket.com/albums/tt10 ... C10136.jpg hope that pik works, but basically most of the plastic parts, i would like to know if its a spray paint job, or a brush job. what paint to use, where i can get it from(common shops all over ocuntry) and any guides to removing the parts for paint them. thanx very much for any help.

tbh i wouldnt , but everyone has there likes and dislikes ( for example lexus lights!! i like them others dnt ) its abit of a marmite thing lol but if you do try and keep it subtle dnt do every bit of plastic you can see. or use vinyl cuz atleast then if you hate it after a while you can jus rip it off, thinkin bout using carbon fibre vinyl on my dash.
