    Im thinking of doing a chrome delete form the interior of my truck and the one option I like is the MESO custom interior kit, however they do not come in Voodoo blue. Anyone know where I can get these painted?

    I was considering the AJT parts but I don't like the way they install as they use 3m tape Vs MESO clips in place

    And I don't have the patients to paint them myself :D

    I'd probably order Mesos kit in white then get a can of color matched spray paint.

    I painted the climate control and 4x4 switch. Turned out good. Just used spray paint, but I wasn't color matching anything. I used black rings and liquid masking tape for the 4X4 switch.

    Easier to see when painting. Doesn't really matter in the end, they should both take a coat the same way.

    Not really a need for primer if you clean it with alcohol first. Clear coat is a matter of personal preference. I'm not a fan of gloss on interior pieces, myself.

    I agree. I might give it a shot. I just can’t find voodoo blue in spray paint
