I did mine a little while ago. One of the best things I've done. It came out great because of the paint I used- Color Coat by Semsproducts.com in Landau Black. It's a perfect match for the 04-05 EP's, but it's a little too dark for the 02-03's.
I even did the OEM radio's faceplate- quick had a huge crack on it before I epoxied it.

Next up:
Dying or re-wrapping my headliner and painting every other piece of plastic: visors, seat belt guides, "oh shit handles", dome light bezels/switches, sunroof handle/switches/plug...
I was thinking about wrapping the pillar plastics, but since I park in the sun all the time, I'm worried they'll fade too easily. It wouldn't hurt to try it if I have enough extra material left over from the headliner though.
Might end up with a black EP2 cluster even. All-black FTMFW!
Looks good from what I can see? Gonna paint the handle garnishs and lock switch?
I was a little worried about it holding up, but with the paint I used, I can pick at it with my fingernail and it won't even hairline-scratch it.
What paint/color did you use?
I painted my old ones, but they were too glossy for my taste. I'm grateful that I was able to trade'em straight-up for some non-painted ones to a homie who was getting rid of his EP.
Yours looks awesome! How expensive was that paint?! It's definitely a nice color, not too glossy. I'm not too worried about repainting the dash/door handles over and over again. But I don't want to repaint anything else more than once(handles, locks, headliner trim). When I find something I really like I'm gonna use clear-coat to get some paint protection.
Hey OP! What kind of material did you use to wrap your door inserts? I like it
I think I used krylon. 100% match. Looks totally oem.
Thanks man! I'm liking the offset black more and more everyday. It flows good with a lot of stuff, like the cruise control switches, side mirror switches, etc.
Like I said, I used Color Coat by Semsproducts.com in Landau Black. I got it at a "mom and pop shop" for $15.00, after tax. The can goes quite a way and is SUPER EASY to use. Anyone can paint like a pro with it! Although it goes on rough, it mends together right before your eyes. When spraying it upside down, to clean the can between layers, the big runs I purposely sprayed on the cardboard box, weren't even noticeable to the touch. Crazy stuff! WELL WORTH a few extra bucks! It feels as strong as the OEM silver finish. No joke!
Forgot this was already on my phone:
It was recommended to me and I've been ecstatic about it's quality since I did it, as you can see. I whore it out on a regular basis. There's no need to clearcoat it AT ALL, but check out their line of clearcoats/colors.
EDIT: Re-sized pic to a clickable thumbnail.
I'm definitely gonna have to source some if my krylon paint doesn't work out! I like the flat black I'm working with though, it fills in a rough sanded area really well and gets a lot of imperfections out, sounds like the paint you've got does all that and more though! Good shit.
interior looks good tommy...
