So i'm looking to change the colour of some of my interior pieces.
wondering whether i should go paint or vinyl?
which is more cost effective and looks better? Prefer DIY on the painting but that would depend on price of getting professionally done.
would prefer to go vinyl since it can be reversed but cost is a big factor here.

I second this!, and just so happens I have some ES interior pieces

I'd go Vinyl but that's because I don't like the paint finish.

shipping could be a problem but if you want you can pm me a picture of what you got and a price i will consider it.
im not too worried about vinyl over the vrx trim since it can be completely removed if i dont like it

wouldnt clear coating over the top prevent this?

Not always I mean clear coat does not protect our cars from chipping
