this depends on what pieces we're painting.. for the 5th gen, a few of the trims are already smooth.. where the others have that bump/rough look. if we were to paint the smooth pieces i'd think it would look nice.. see what i'm thinkin is.. like the OEM carbon fiber kit for the 5th gens.. they look pretty shiny.. and reflective, i'm thinkin instead of gettin carbon fiber to just paint it body color, and still have that shiny look.. *shrug*... i dunno.. maybe i'll buy some extra pieces from ppl and test it out. but then i'd have to buy some OEM paint too hahaha.. go try it obrigado!

see i have a 4th gen so ive never even been in a 5th gen. i like the sleeker curvier look of a 4th better. i dont know anything about your interior. if you want to try that go for it. i dunno. regular paint still doesnt work that great but.

this is the oem cf trim.. notice how it has that shiny reflective look.. (if u ignore the fake CF weave) i guess that's what we're trying to get.. just a shiny/smooth look
