Wow. It looks good. I think you did a good job of selecting pieces to paint versus original color, there is a great contrast.

Rule number 1 for posting pictures.

Tell Zasder how you got the paint to stick so nicly to plastic, what paint you used, and any other steps taken to complete this.

Alright all I did for prep was 1.) Rinse off piece to get rid of all dust 2.) Used Ultra Concentrated Dawn Plus on a sponge to was part 3.) Dried off with a towel 4.) Sprayed series of thin coats of paint until there was no grey (or whatever the color of my interior is) to be seen through the paint. That's all i did no sanding or primeing. I really want to put a clear coat on because this paint seems like it will peel off easily.

As for paint I used Dupli-Color Fabric and Vinyl paint, Don't buy the prep spray because it leaves a oily residue on the parts

I am in the process of doing some accent painting such asall speaker grills, defrost vent, grill, and lower front valance. I took Eurogold's advice and went with Krylon Fusion semi-gloss black. This paint works awesome with all of the parts that I have done. Just wash with dish detergent or rubbing alcohol, sand with some sandpaper (300-500) to scuff a little and paint in thin layers. Seems to work great. Will get some pics on here sometime soon. Drew, did you have to take the dash off to do the airbag or glove box or did you just tape and paint?
