If the paint does not adhere to plastic, which if you directly sprayed without any primer, then it'll peel very easily. I admit I was somewhat into that look many years ago, but only for a very short while when it was popular.
I think of it this way. Look at what you are accentuating. Is it really an item you want to stand out from the rest of the elements? A door handle, air vent, etc.?

i think it's sharp. accenting random accessories isn't a bad thing, as along as it's subtle, which i think it is. the paint matches the exterior, so it won't be as glaringly obvious. i'll admit the vent is a little odd, but for some reason, it works.
i'd pay attention to the paint tips though, if you didn't prime the plastic, you might want to think about taking the parts back off, sanding them down a little (dremel tool) applying a primer, re-coating it, and maybe even think about a clear coat. you can get all three of those in spray cans.
i think it's wicked. nicely done.

yes for all of you who are wondering i sanded everything first, rubbed it down with grease and wax remover, primed it, painted 3 coats of blue, then clearcoated everything. thanks for all the tips and opinions i enjoy reading what others think of my car. and yesterday i ordered the rm bodykit and clear corners.

Why didnt you do the silver pieces along the trans tunnel by where the seat belts click in? That looks a bit out of place with the rest of the silver pieces already painted. I dig the look of the dash and shifter trim, not to hot on the air vents personally but it dose look like a job well done.

幹他媽!
that's interesting...
u have a navi, but it's not a GT.
i was going to ask if u were going to paint the silver plastic backing of the front seats to match the black leather. but, i guess it's a non-issue for cloth seats.
oh well....

Holy **** that e-brake is sprung! 
That could put someone's eye out. Interior paint looks good and tasteful.
