Painting Interior Help
Ok I was wanting to paint the bezel and center console and some other things but no fabric or vinyl. I know there is a guide but it will not let me open it for some reason. I need someone to explain the steps to doing it. The first time that I did it all I did was paint it and it tuned out looking good but I want the glass look. Also it is a little rough and scratchs easly, anyone that can help it would greatly be appriciated.

As far as I'm aware no one really wet sands or clear coats their bezels, it's all about how clean it is, the paint you choose and how many coats you put on. But if your looking for a mirror like finish I don't think you will be able to get it perfect because you are spraying onto a dull plastic surface.

I need to do this soon too, the rubberized finish on mine is peeling away. I would sand the bezel to bare plastic finishing w/ a fine sandpaper, somewhere around 800 probably, clean it well, use a krylon fusion color or some plastic primer w/ the color you want after the primer is wet sanded. Then another wet sand and clear coat. Try to stick with the same brands if you do the primer then color route otherwise you may run into issues (peeling and blistering) It may seem like a little overkill but if you going for the show car look it will definitely give you the best results and hold up the best over time.
Also when yo do it don't just go to the edges, go around the edges so your paint ends on the back of the bezel, it will keep the edges from cracking and peeling.

Adhesion promoter works well when you use it for things that call for it, but i think most of these plastic paints and primers have built in adhesion promoters to make up for to the release agents in the plastic.
