Krylon Fusion on my integra console - looks great!

I have seen a few posts about painting interior peices. I thought I would give my

! I bought my integra console from 2 seperate places. The front was black and the back piece was brown. Obviously I wasn't going to put it into my hatch that way. So, I did some research and this is what I did. I painted everthing black with Krylon Fusion. I used 2 whole cans of it, it was about 10 coats! Go very thin on your coats. After the first 3-4 coats you can lightly sand out any rough spots or gouges in the plastic. Then add the rest of your coats. After the last coat, I waited about 2-3 hours and put on some high gloss exterior clear acrylic. Again I used 2 whole cans of it. This put a hard-as-hell coating on it to prevent chips and scratches. It looks great, I haven't installed it yet. I will post some pics when it is installed. The fusion and acrylic both say to wait 7 days for full curing and it will be chip free. If I do it over(I am thinking about it) this is what I would change. I want to fill in the seam where the stock radio bezel meets the integra console. I would put on 3-4 coats of fusion, sand this to roughen it up and then I would put a few coats of primer over the seam and I would use a few thin coats of bondo, sand it smooth and then put the rest of the fusion and acrylic on it. I think it would look awesome and definetly more factory without the seam. I would also fill the seam on the radio bezel, there is a seam between the main plastic piece and the metal piece that surrounds the radio and heating knobs. It would look like 1 whole peice and completely smooth! I would also NOT use high gloss acrylic. It is shinny as hell. I think I would use the satin finish, this too would make it look a little more factory. Well there is my

bondo does not stick to ABS plastic. it will fall off. you need to find a product that bonds to plastic. a body shop can help you with this. there is a product for repairing ABS bumpers. you will need to use that.

Looks great. Wanted to know does it only go on plastic??????? not the fake leather shit that is already in the car?? Also where is the best place to buy the product anywhere. It looks like its brand new so would you have to order it or get it at a hardware store thanks.
