Looks great. I have to do all mine when/if I ever finish the paint/bodywork on mine.

I would like to give an update about materials used. As I have continually painted more and more interior pieces, I have picked up a few things.

Stripping: I have been using lacquer thinner/paint thinner to break down the rubber coating. I would use it lightly and instead of a scotch brute pad to scuff, I bought 3M brand sanding/scuffing pads at Lowes for a few bucks and they are a little more fine grain. Just watch how hard you bear down on the plastic pieces so you don't put too deep of scratches in them.

Priming:
I use the Dupli-Color Sandable Primer and I do about two coats. If there is some harder to reach areas, then you may have to add a coat.

Painting:
Still using the Dupli-Color Bumper Coating. If you plan to paint your trim black, this in my opinion is your best bet. I run through these cans but it's mostly because I paint everything I get my hands on. I am pretty generous with how many coats I do on different plastic pieces. Make sure you are in a good dust free area and room temp or a bit above it. I have noticed some trim has expanded/ shrank with cold washing or laying it out in the sun to paint and dry.
