Interior trim - painted?

My car's in the body shop right now (getting the rear bumper fixed/painted - I was rear-ended on Fathers day in Berkely).

I'm waiting for an estimate to get some interior parts sprayed.

These are the pieces I'm wanting painted : https://www.i-club.com/forums/**************/phiHaM
Looking to get them in WRB.

Anyone had this done at a shop?
If so, what did it cost?

If I don't go this route, I may decide to go the plastidip route - but I like the idea of the color-matched trim.

Not able to pass up this deal!

He's going to mix up extra paint today.
He'll sand and paint them (primer/base/clear) - all I have to do is remove them and put them back on when he's done.

Only charging $100.

Its probably because not too many people are into that. Its seen as a thing "honda kids" do. Not knocking it just telling you what i see. Looks like they did a good job though. get some installed pics up!

I like it. It reminds me of the color-matched interior in the Mini Coopers.

Scroll down on the link I posted - there are four pics...

I agree that many ricers tend to go with some poorly executed paint mods...
I was a little skeptical about this at first, but I love the way it came out.

The pictures don't really do it justice either.

I think he meant display the pictures rather than just posting them.

I like the idea. I think the blue is a little too bright for the interior. I would have done a grey, maybe a dark gunpowder color, to blend in with the dark dash.

Its kinda funny, when the doors are closed, i think its a little much. But when you opened the door and it contrasts with the blue of the car it doesnt look as "in you face."
