I repainted mine. I think they turned out nice. I sanded off the original paint as best I could on the heater controls. I'm trying to remember my exact process...it's been about 5 years.
I think I sprayed the entire heater control panel with SEM Trim Black first. Then I masked off the center before spraying the wrinkle paint. I used VHT brand since that's what the local parts store carried. I sprayed it per the instructions on the can. I think they say to spray a medium coat followed by two wet coats 90 degrees from each other.(read the can) I put my panels out in the sun to help them dry/wrinkle. You can also use a heat gun on a low setting to speed up the process.
I let the wrinkle paint dry for a long time. I think I left it in the basement for 3 weeks before continuing. Next, I used a paint pen to redo the white letters. I had a steady hand so this was pretty easy. I did have to go over them twice to get the white really white.(let it completely dry between coats) The last thing I did was mask it for the "chrome" border. I misted a couple coats of chrome spray paint. That chrome paint does weird things if you spray it too heavy.
The radio bezel was easy. The wrinkle was still in good shape and wasn't flaking off so I just sprayed on top of the original stuff.
