Default Feeler: painted Interior door handle trim

Well I've been working on these for a while but never got to finish em up. I'm sanding them down smooth and will be painting them to have a smooth gloss finish
These arn't for me, but for me to sell if anyone on here is interested
I was thinking of spraying them black or red, don't know yet
But let me know what y'all think

I've already smoothed one down some but you can definitely see the difference between the two

That sucks!!!
I hate thinking that someday my monte will be broken into for my Headunit lol

But yea I'll be buffing these out too. Im leaning more towards doing them black if I decide to keep them, and I'll go all out with my interior, including the window switches trim, top part of my center console, other small pieces and finally my dash

Yeah it sucked they messed alot of stuff up for a cheap walmart radio

Id go black for sure, & yeah itll be a pita to do the dash & console, u gotta get that rubber coating off of them i spent 30+hrs on my dash lol but some good advice is to use a good filler primer & let em set for a week or 2 than wet sand & theyll be perfectly smooth

Lol

That coating is getting really annoying to look at everytime I'm driving the monte especially around the cupholders, it looks like crap how it's peeling off!
