Anybody ever tried this or have any thoughts?

All the Royalite plastic in my '68 was painted during the recent interior upgrade. It worked very well. Because of the shape that Cessna made the window trim wrapping the plastic in Ultrasuede was going to be a real challenge (some window trim like Beech and Piper are much simpler design) so my interior tech painted it. My plastic was in really good shape and turned out great. I had to buy a new overhead console but all the rest is original.
I think you would be surprise if you had your panels wrapped in Ultrasuede or fabric. Use a certified material or have the material treated and it would provide a nice new finish look. Most all automobiles have this in the headliner of new cars. It is very modern and will or can provide a warmer, quieter environment.
