We don't do that kind of stuff here......if it doesn't make you faster or increase your ability to control the car....it's a waste of time and money.

Neon pink is the only color that holds on to the interior plastics. I think it has something to do with the cleaving agent in the pink pigment. That's your best bet, though.

I would agree , however no one asked you to reply if you didnt have any advice . you could have kept those smart *** comments to yourself .

If you just pull out all the pieces that you want to paint and tape off all the parts that you don't want painted then sand it down with like 300 or 400 grit sand paper then prime and paint they should turn out fine.

Yeah, make sure he gets Krylon neon pink. That sticks to the plastic much better.

NO! that stuff flakes!
Use pink Engine Paint (I know that sounds weird but it exists) since it has a high temp and since your heater vents get really hot you won't have to worry about it flaking. Try ebay and good luck

Good call. I should have mentioned that in my earlier post.
