5)paint it up! now wetsand it a lil bit w/ 2000 or 1500 grit
6)do this a couple times...painting and sanding..
7)now clear coat it..then wetsand it w/ 2000 grit..repeat couple times

Here's a trick that I found on a model builder's site. Soak the plastic parts in Castrol Super Clean (in the purple jug) for about 4 hours. Other degreasers will eat the plastic or make it soft, but Super Clean won't. Once you've soaked it, loosen the paint with a toothbrush, and then rinse the paint away with water. I did this with spark plug cover and it worked great.

I'd personally just clean it and sand down any bubbles or areas that is starting to peel.

I use paint from 50resto.com they have it in like 15colors and the paint they use is good stuff. It has the fan nozzle and they have laquer or regular depending on what you want or need. The bad thing is paint is about 10 bucks a can and you would need like 3 for that interior.
