Instead of people usually wrapping their interior trim pieces in a color other than silver, or even the fake carbon fiber wrap, I took the route of taking the time to properly paint my interior pieces. It took me awhile but they turned out really nice!
I first took everything out so I wouldn't risk painting a piece I didn't want painted, and started my thing. I first sanded everything down with 400 grit so the top texture was rough and less glossy than OEM so the primer (Duplicolor Sandable Primer) would adhere. I then used a base colour (red in my case; VHT Caliper paint to match my calipers) to change the colour of the time pieces, then went overtop with my clear coat (Duplicolor Acrylic Lacquer) to make it shine and have a deeper look. Put everything back together and called it a day.
* For those of you that are wondering, the rings in my cluster are dipped red, not painted *
