You can remove it all, sand it down with kinda rough sandpaper, primer it, sand it w/finer sandpaper, primer.. then sand with Very fine, so its smooth as u want the finished product to be, it will be very smooth plastic, then paint it w/ Krylon preferably, what ever color, then with Clear Enamel to get even glossier look. With the Krylon, u can get the glossy colors too. But in the end if u do it right, it looks jus like fiberglass.

That's what I did: http://images.cardomain.com/member_i...931_4_full.jpg

Sanding is key, and getting the right grain sand paper at each interval is crucial. However I didn't use Krylon. I used a plastic adhesive primer and a very close matched Electron Blue metallic paint + clear coat. I'm happy with the way it turned out. Mind you, it took me about 4 tries before I got the process down with no flaws.

damn, still posting on this. this shit's old. It's just best to buy the car with the interior color you want. Not worth painting interior parts that are going to be constantly touched and used (i.e. switches, handles). Unless it's a show car.
