First remove all the pieces, clean them thoroughly, then sand them dwn with a fine grain sandpaper. Then, prime the pieces, then apply at least 2 coats of the color spray, the DO apply a clear coat. If done well and correctly and with the correct materials, it can look very nice and clean.

Folia Tech makes all the products you need. Even a good cleaning solution.

Good luck with that.
I'd have to disagree. I painted ALL interior trim I have painted, using Krylon. It's come out quite nice, and people tell me it looks authentic. You can see pics of it by clicking on my website in my sig below, and clicks on the "pics" link from there. NONE of my interior stuff has yet chipped away, or dulled our anything like that. In fact, I even used the same exact paint on my side skirts and black portion of my grill, piled on about 5 coats of Krylon, and 3 coats of clear coat, and it's been on there almost a year, and I haven't yet needed to touch it up. Not that bad of stuff to use, to say the least! It's just all on how you prep your work (sanded external stuff I painted, and for the interior, all I did was clean off with rubbing alcohol, sprayed on 2 coats of Bulldog adhiesion premoter, and sprayed on my paint in how many coats I chose), and how well you apply on your paint, using smooth sweeping motions if out of a spray can.
