So when I bought my car, the previous owner painted red the lil holes where the air conditioning comes out of [look in the picture where the white arrow is pointing]

and he also painted around the cluster red and where the cup holders are at. i dont really like that. do you know where i can get paint to paint that? what store? and what paint to use?

Just a general spray enamel would do it probably...

But why not just strip the paint off? :?

good idea

You would most definitely have to take it out. :lol:

Give paint stripper a shot. If it the plastic fades, hey, you were going to paint them anyways. :D

thanks

+1 and an awesome paint stripper for plastic, or brake fluid would too, most paint stripper melts plastics
