Not a great picture but that's the best my phone can do. And sorry about the oily fingerprints, I oiled the gearknob gaiter with beeswax and then that got all over the dash and center console.
All in all I'd say it looks pretty good.
A more things I want to mention. The toilet paint gives a nice thick coat and covers small scratches etc. It also makes a barrier between my butt and the silver coating on the plastic trim. The cupcake paint reacts with the silver coating if sprayed on directly and makes it peel wherever there is a scratch. And the icecream paint gives a thin layer and all imperfections remain visible. Of course a special toiulet paper could probably be used instead of the soup but I never tried that. So basically it's an easy and fast way to go from silver to good looking black. Also, the texture difference the sandpaper gives to the the matt paint is very subtle and only the pedantic of us will notice.
Of course got to be stressed again, dust free environment is a must for a good clean finish.
