    Hey Guys,
    I'm thinking about painting my center console black, what type of paint should I use and other than basic cleaning how shoud I prep the surface?
    Do I need to use primer?

    Thanks!

    krylon fusion. its specially made for plastics...no primer necessary!

    i would personally let it dry for at least a week before you put it back. this is something you dont want to rush and then have it scratch or get messed up in some other way.
