Decide my color fate

[KeWLKaT]

Alright,

I want to re-do my interior. Car is black. So far i've got the red on the calipers and on some engine components.

What should i do about the interior? I want to color, of course, the usual door inserts, dash fascia, and vents, but which color? I'm hesitating between silver and red... Something that would go with the rest of the interior, including the grey leather.

[EVOXD]

hey dude i just did my interior painting. I did red to match my seats, but silver or red would look good. i think that a gray or dull silver color may be a little better with the gray leather. Anyways thats just my opinion.

I really don't like the color red but if you already started on red I would continue that through the interior.

[KeWLKaT]

well i havent *started* with red really, just the calipers, and by saying engine components, i'm talking about some wires, some caps, etc... not even the big plastic on top of the engine :)

[tharptroy]

please dont paint your interior red...please.

[pancit]

red will cheapen it out, black plz.

Watson has a red interior, check out the post for his car.

How About Black With Red Trim/stitching...like On The New Tiburons

[KeWLKaT]

oh........sorry, i put it in the wrong way.

Big pieces: black. Small pieces for accent: red or silver... cant decide.

[hyunelan2]

Please don't do red. Bright, flashy colors look like crap IMO. You need a neutral color. Black/Silver/Gray would be good. I really like the dark gray metal flake that SED used on his current project.

[KeWLKaT]

hmmm... i checked the thread out again, but i dont see the color you just described.

As he says in the post, the picture doesn't do the color justice... I have the same color on my exterior 'lips'

And click my signature if you want to see what a light gray looks like (almost silver, but more gray)

[KeWLKaT]

Ohhhhhhhhh yea, your lips! I remember now.. I don't like those 'glitterr' things in the pain though :( I think i'll go with a gray/silverish color. Time to shop around and find the right color... If you can help, be my guest :)

or use testors alum. model paint, for the accents and a nice deep gray for the black parts

[KeWLKaT]

[sed]

yeah, the alum looking pieces in my dash are testors alum.

[DubyaO]

Sed...what'd you use to paint that? Airbrush? Testors airbrush?

[sed]

no, foam applicator... just take one of your girls tampons....

LOL

no, just a small foam brush, since i wanted a "brushed" alum look...

and by the by, nicole (sedsgirl) painted them not me.

shawn :)

[GTSTISL]

[DubyaO]

You totally painted the "H" on your steering wheel 'eh Sid?? Nice. :D Testors paint too? Does it not rub off?

Drinking and typing don't mix...unless there's porn involved.

[sed]
