    thanx guys, calknowles, i preped it buy washing it in hot water with degreaser, very thorough clean, then used some septone plastic adhesion promoter to prime them, then just did a couple of coats of very thinned out acrilic black, the thinners help the paint stick as it very slightly 'eats' into the plastic. the gearknob will be black with a glitter sprayed over it. thanx guys.

    small update, but an update non the less, i finallygot arround to painting my gear knob, it's now black and very shiny, i sanded it and hi-fill primed it four times, then saned the imperfections out, then base coat black and then topcoat with some hardener to get it nice and shiny
    from this:

    to this:


    Also i have finally gotten arround to taking my door trims/rear trims to be re-done, when i 1st received them from buddy parts they were ripped and dented and in overall bad condition which wasnt described when i bought them from jay, he wouldnt help with a return or refund so i was stuck with damaged goods. but all new vynil and material in the inserts should make it a littlebit better inside and give it that JDM look so hopefully they'll be done soon.
