Default Painting interior trim pieces

I recently decided to change my interior trim from being wrapped in vinyl wrap to being painted. Specifically, I chose to paint the interior trim pieces the same color as the car, Grand Prix White. I ordered aerosol spray cans of plastic adhesion promoter, color-matched base coat, and gloss clear coat from Automotive Touch-Up. I've ordered paint correction pens from them before, but never spray cans. As expected, the paint color was a perfect match. The paint delivery from the spray cans wasn't great, but it was manageable. I applied 2 coats of adhesion promoter, 3 coats of case coat, and 5 coats of clear. I'm very happy with the end results.

I may spray them again with a matte clear coat if reflections from the panels prove to be problematic, but so far, I've had no issues at all, and they look fantastic.

I like it on the center console but not as much on the radio door. The finish did turn out nice, though.

Nice job on the panels. If I were GPW, I might consider that. I don't see them looking as good as the GPW in my NFR car.

Just an FYI---
I notice that you have OEM floor mats. About 10 years ago a Porsche pal of mine convinced me to go for custom coco mats that the Porsche crowd are so giddy about. Well, he was right. They are full length, wear like iron and still look great for about $180.
