Timing belt is very important to install correctly

Do tell what kind of paint and whether a primer was used on the interior plastic bits. Looks good, not tacky at all and the texture of the plastic is unaltered. Also has there been any paint flaking off / do you foresee any ? I suggest a rubberized undercoating for the interior trunk area that is co...
