Pilliar Pod - Paint??

Hey you guys have a three gauge pilliar pod to install but it's made of black plastic.

What sort of paint do you reccomend for it.
As much as I dislike grey everywhere this bit needs to be painted.

Thanks in advance

Ford has rattle cans that match the interior. Nothing like OEM quality.

This works VERY well: Dupli-Color Vinyl and Fabric Color, VS-8 Medium Gray

Many thanks guys I will check out my local Autofactors, will check paint suitable for plastic.

When I ordered this never gave a thought to color as the only ones I have seen installed have allways been grey.

Will install first to check if any mods required before painting.

A guy posted on this forum with interior photo Red / Black combination.
Looked pretty damm good too. Hate Grey.

its not really "paint" your looking for..

its more of a "dye"..

some paint will melt plastic

we changed the interior color when we rebuilt the wifes falcon

we used paint on the metal parts and dye on everything else

and 3 yrs later it still looks as good as new

...zap!
