Painting my interior plastics

to do the pinstripe what you would do is paint white around the edges, let it dry(24 hrs) then get some flexi fine line masking tape, mask your line, then paint the whole thing your colour, wait till dry, remove the masking tape, youll now have your white painted line then just go over it all with laquer, very simplified guide -

its probably the same concept but alot of civic/crx owners convert their shocks with coilover inserts, which can be bought on ebay for around 40 odd quid,las time i looked, a similar concept could probably be done i dont see why not. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/88-00-Honda-Civic-Del-Sol-CRX-Integra-Coilover-Kit-Blue-/190433493096?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2c56b88068#ht_1085wt_956
