I wouldn't .. paint is for the outside ..

Get them professionally plastic chromed or so..

Might be pricier than a can of paint from Supercheap, but its worth it.. & loads less tacky

I think this is the place..

yeh, totally agree. when they do it professionally it looks crazy

but i did it myself with my centre console and clock & volt meter surround and im really happy with how it came out.

a lot better than just plain black all over IMO

as long as done correctly its good
fisrt light wet and dry, then clean, proper plastic primer, actual colour then gloss for protection and shine

but dont use cheap paint from supercheap etc, go for the good brands. ie duplicolor.
And if its not up to your standard then all will be have to be done again
