yes you can...... but I would suggest to let the professional do it for you, or you can do it yourself but you got to have patience :wink:

why do you want white instead? If its not done perfectly, I would think it would cheapen the feel of the interior. If you have made up your mind on this and cannot be talked out of it, I would at least make sure you had a professional do it.

Have a photoshop of what you have in mind?

umm to me, white is a bit umm. sorry tacky but thats my taste. i like the wood luxury.

but if u wanna do it yea its possible. im not sure how u take it off but if u are able to rattle can woudl work.

sand it down a bit.

Clean it up.

put some priemer several coats. (around 7 mins between coats)

then color coats (15-20mins between coats)

then clear coat (10-15mins between coats)

FYI- in between coats as u spray each can, start out light then heavier coats.

Yeah ^^^^^Vinyl and heat gun will be ezier to fix /discard if you mess up..i tried it..and sanded/painted does look tacky.. vinyl is a much easier /safer option..you will get tired of it after a while..i had carbon fiber trim for 3 months..be care ful when you pop out the wood trim..tabs break eazily. :P
