could i just PAINT my stock panels black with that interior spray?...cuz im finding parts...but the center console is like $30...i havenf found any dashes locally but im guessing those are fu<king expensive...so...does the painted panels feel like stock or what are the downsides to painting compare to buying new pieces?

you could paint it, my friend painted his crx interior black because the previous owner painted it red, he used a primer, a few coats of paint and then some clear coat. It came out really good, and that was about two years ago and not a single chip or flake yet.

it could be the paint that was used or how it was done cus my friend bought a red CRX (coincidence?) and some one painted the dash and other parts like vents and stuff and it was all chipping and looked real crappy.
