It seems that when I'm really into a project phase, you actually get an update every day. So here's your daily fix of Itinerant's Project Pics.
(...hey, that rhymed a little.)
... (guess who's high on paint fumes?)
I got the lower center console, all 4 door handle covers, the front speaker grilles, armrest, armrest rear snap cover, all 4 option covers (from around the ebrake), and both kick panels from the front.
The paint is still wet in most of those pics so it's super glossy. The actual finished product is a semi-gloss black. When I compared it to the actual Integra center console, the painted parts were a darker and deeper black than OEM. I can live with that.
Here's one of the JDM OEM scratches for authenticity.
So there you have it. Painting day 1. That's it for now unless I somehow get more energy. [edit] All of that, including the later touch ups, took 1 can. I still haven't done the bottom trim pieces or the lower B pillar covers, not to mention the lower dash, the plastics on the 4 door panels, the door handles, and a few other random parts that I can't really think of right now. And darn, I only bought two cans. I wanted to test it out first, of course.

lol... my glove box has one of those!!!!! woot!
Good work on the painting so far. The interior is going to be so much nicer with the black once finished.

I forgot all the pics from Day 2 and it's Day 3... so, you'll get Day 3 pics later. Here's Day 2:
And by the end of the day...
Day 3 is still in progress. Pictures of that stuff later. Gotta go pull the lower dash and such sometime today, gotta finish all the door handles and door pockets and other trim. And, gotta buy more paint. I've used 3 cans so far, only have 1 left. It may take 6 to finish the interior pieces.
