I think you can go to any spray shop and just do a spray job, won't be cheap..but i reckon it will cost around 150? At least its cheaper than buying off the shelf ...

PML sells them around 300+ if im not wrong.... go call them up and check?

Thanks for your help man! Any other fancyful stuff i can install to make the interior look chio? All my friends laughing at the interior of an e46. Sad truth, bimmer makes good exterior but pretty screwed up interior man.

Re: Interior Trimming?

Hmm...this was yesterday...today i finished sanding it...my right arm's tired...haha...next i have to spray it..Wait...i don't have the primer...i guess i won't use it...too lazy to look for it..hmm...oh i tried spraying the chrome on a plastic bag to make sure it doesn't "eat" my trims...it looks a tad too bright...and when i sprayed the clear spray...it became a dull aluminium colour... hmmm...how? should i continue or get a new colour...should i just do chrome...hmmm...what a dilemma....

Re: Interior Trimming?

arh...i might as well show u the results on the plastic bag... the left side is just chrome, the right is with clear spray. Hmmm...I can visualise my car turning into a microwave? hmmm...or a tin can? hmmm....oh man my fingers are so rough now...ouch...now i have to decide and spray paint all of them...

Oh yah...i was surfing the net and i realised u need to paint it in the day when it's hot? why....i want to just paint it now!!! hmmm...haha...btw i'm not using primer too..haha..i swear I'll have to contact the bro //m when my experiement and laziness fails me...

Re: Interior Trimming?

Looks like you went through the same process as me.

Hope my DIY process helps you a little. Do show the results once you're done!!!

I'm going to sand it down tomoorw..i hope that's the right thing to do...haha...(was a
