I'm gonna paint some of my interior but i'm not sure what's gonna look good. I have the gray interior and black exterior(red stuff under the hood). anybody got a good idea on what would look good? thanks in advance!:D

i have a grey interior and i just painted mine silver....looks damn nice too. thats my vote. here is a pic of what mine looks like.

How about blue?

How about red? But instead of painting the inserts red like everyone else, paint the entire dash, door panels, and hatch peices red and leave the inserts black. That would probably be a bitch though, but cool. Because I hate that gray, I have it to but I'm about to get it painted.

BTW that silver does look cool, my car is the same color green. Do you like that green or hate it? I hate it, I think it shows to many imperfections. I just had mine repainted but I'm thinking about saving up and getting it painted again. Maybe like a lighter, but still hunter, green, like the Honda green. Most people think that my car is black.

i love my color. your right tho it shows too many imperfections but when shes clean and pretty shes soooo beautifull. just my opinion but PLEASE dont paint the interior red....much less the entire dash and everything. some people like it, but i think it looks relaly gawdy and really unclean. silver could actually pass for stock...and is pretty clean but not red. yea, im gettin my car repainted the same exact color...i like it and its unique.

thanks for the feeback guys....i appreciate it! i like the silver, but i don't wanna bite off your(96eclipse2nr) style at all. I'm kinda wanna do the red and see what it looks like...only cause i've done everything else red. it might look good...i hope.

hey 96eclipse2nr, i really like the silver accents on your interior but don't wanna steal the idea either. Just thought i'd compliment ya.

stealing? pshht! mines silver too, just make sure you smooth out all the inserts, it looks so much better, silver owns JOO!

I have P88 Cayanne Red exterior and black and tan interior...I used colormatch Cayanne Red to paint my interior insert pieces and that shit looks awesome!

Yeah I would say silver would be the best way to go....Looks really clean!

Where'd you get that shift boot? that's bad-ass!

yeah, that shift boot is crazy!!! and how do you like that alpine head unit??? i was thinking about getting an alpine h.u. to go with my alpine sub and amp. but i'm not sure i wanna spend 5 or 6 hundred on a deck right now.
I ended up buying the red interior paint.....i think i'm gonna order some silver tonight though, just in case i don't like the red.
thanks again for all the feedback guys!!

pot-holes suck:(. i hate new jersey!

Whats the best paint for doors/dash and plastic trim.

i jus painted right over my stock pieces black, no sanding or nun. looks, fine. like as if you bought your car with that color interior. but looking @ the above silver looks real tight smoothed out. either way it will look good just take your time :thumbsup ill try to post some pics if i find my digi. i also did the arm rest inset in the doors, soooo much clear coat. i wonder how long it will last...

If you wanna see a FULL red interior, ie dash, doors, headliner, etc....check out Kaptain Myke's. His interior PWNZ jo0 4lL!! I didn't like red either till i saw his, looks rather tite IMO n whatnot.

Post up some pictures and links please, thats the same thing I'm doing to my car and I want to see someone elses. I got the idea off of DiamondWeapon, his blue interior is off the hook.

Sorry guys I must have missed the replies when going through the board... Anyhow....

Thanks for the positive feedback on the interior. I got the shift boot form a guy in Kansas. His name is Eric Schmidt. You can reach him through email at eschmidt8@cox.net

Great guy to deal with...

Also as far as smothing it all out....Just take your time and sand it down. I ended up sanding mine and painting it over and over before I got it how I wanted it. Its all about the prep work. I probably redid mine like 10 times before I got it to look right because I was always in a hurry.

I love my Alpine HU also... Best HU I have had yet!!

Good Luck!! Post some pics of when you get it done.

I personally have no links to his stuff, but i am sure if you pm him then he would be more then happy to link you to them.
