everything in my 93 is a 94+ ..
even the a/c controls and doors, ..center tunnel.. gauge hood, seats, etc.. the only thing original is the dash, gauge cluster (but with brand new chrome ring surround) and the head liner.
removing the old a/c controls.. you can see the instrument hood is also off.

I painted mine with duplicolor engine enamel (500 degree one) that is the "low gloss black" It is extremely close to an exact match, enough so that I cannot tell any difference. The paint is extremely resiliant and does not scratch or chip without a ton of effort. In fact I am planning on scuff sanding and painting the rest of my interior panels now. While nothing will look as good as all new panels. This method does great for about $1293 cheaper.

since you asked so nicely...
The paint is: Dupli-Color Engine Enamel (High Heat 500 Degrees) Color is "Low Gloss Black" Code: DE1634
Only the panel around the radio and a/c controls was painted, but it turned out so nice, I kinda want to do all the rest... The difference between the painted panel and the panel that surrounds the shifter in the picture is an artifact of the flash bouncing off the different surfaces. In person they look identical (except the one around the shifter has a bunch of scratches) You can see around the RX-7 DIN panel it matches well as well as over near the cig. lighter. Those were not painted and they match great. This was done over a year ago BTW.

what grit sand paper did you use before you applied the enamel?
Oh ya, does anyone know if Ray at Malloy sells the 94+ plastics? I figure Ill give them a call sometime.
