Oh hell it was awful, if there's a shop that'll do it, go for it. I still have spare parts and my dash still rattles.

If you take it to a paint and body shop they should be willing to spray them for you. I saw a project on HT and he had a shop spray his. Turned out nice looking. But you still have to be careful because paint chips kind of easily off plastic.

The OEM black interior is actually dark dark grey. It's called Type K. Probably cheaper to get it off the hondatech marketplace. Most parts are discontinued and way too expensive.
