The middle piece can not be painted, it has never been done.....

if you can get the black carpet to come out looking good white, i will be amazed. try redoing it in vinyl.

what color is your car? you can spray paint it if you can find the right color. of course it probably wont look as good as if you get it done at a body shop.

I would get it done by a bodyshop that way the color match is right... I don't think it could be expensive to have them spray it.

On the box I would wrap it in vinyl. If you want to paint it then you should fiberglass. You can fiberglass around the box, putting about 8 layers on (correct me if I'm wrong here guys) and then paint. Good luck, get some pics when you are done.

1) air compressor
2) Spray gun
3) paint
4) Practice

You can be amazed with how well you can paint things like this yourself. I used this way to paint my interior peices. I first got color matching paint in a spray can but it didn't flow very well out of the can. Good luck with your endeavors.

like he said ^^^ but he forgot a few things... trust me on this, look at my sig, i did that paint job myself

need compressor around 30+gall sprayer, primer, paint (and all the chemicals) clearcoat, FLEX AGENT!!!

just get a scuff pad from somewhere and scuff up the surface and prime over that. and DON'T follow the paint instructions on drying... spray color and give enough time to clean out your gun and shoot clear (asap!) then you are done

I 2nd the no Rattle can primer!!! buy the shit you spray out of your spray gun. paint will not stick on rattle can primer, it may stay for a bit, but it WILL come off
