Default Painting Interior Dash Panels

Is it possible to paint the interior panels? Things like the door panels or center console?

Maybe Bedline the stuff to match the floor. I'm not too familiar regarding painting and pre and post care. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Old news, but I got these rubberized applicaes (sp) online somewhere a coupla' years back for the center of the dash (radio, vent, and below). Look super sweet, stay on like permanent and perfectly match my det yellow. Don't even have a clue were I got them, but look around, may be just what you need. Just a dash of color to break up the gray. Staying away from the chrome vent rings and such.

I painted my vent rings with Krylon Fusion and it is holding up really well.

I've seen several people post on how they spray painted their dashes with mopar paint. Don't know how well it has held up for them though.

Default Bedline plastic interior door panels??

Has anybody bedlined the cheap plastic interior door panels on an '07 - '10?

Mine are so scratched and dinged-up, I'd love to just blast them with bedliner. Not sure how well it would do with the moving parts like the inside door handle.

I'm not sure if bedliner will stick on there. But Krylon Fusion is made for plastics. My vent trim is holding up really well and looks brand new still.

I think that fusion stuff will stick on better if you prep with some rubbing alcohol and rough it up with a scotch pad.

Here's a picture of my vents.

And dashboard

Looks great! I'm not that brave. I would like to start spraying bedliner inside though! I wish the inside of my doors were just metal.

Thanks. I didnt bother sanding or anything either. I actually tried it with rustoleum and duplicolor first and it just didnt adhere right, so i used to acetone to clean it off and used the .99 cent spray paint instead
