What interior pieces should I paint? I'm planning on painting the intereior of my camaro pewter like the exterior, trying to make it show car quality. Interested in some feedback on my plans, and some help in the decision making process. I can't decide what exactly to paint, so I'm asking you guys. Going to do it with automotive paint, alot of prep work, and some TLC. I'm trying to keep a pretty even flow of color.
These aren't my car but looks exactly like it. So, whoever's it is, nice car....
Should I paint, the numbers are marked lol:
3 pics is probebly overkill but...
Thanks for any criticism.

...a lot of people on here dont like that kinda stuff as im sure you know lol
but i say do it! its your car...
my only recomendation is that you do it black and not pewter. i dont think that will look good. and if you do do it at all, do it right. sand the peices smooth, paint black then clear over that for a very smooth deep glossy finish cuz if you paint the peices as-is its gonna look llike ****...i think lol
i wouldnt do them pewter cuz i dont think it would look right. BUT it is your car, dare to be different...and if you dont like it you can buy a new interior lol
just my 2...do what makes you happy

I wouldn't do it , the only way it looks good is if you have a silver car , and then I still wouldnt do it. Besides it wouldnt go with your'e pedal covers/whiteface gauges/doorsills -cough cough

thats how i got my car when i first bought it, and within a week evertyhing was back to normal. i would not do it, but that is just my taste. clearly you want to paint your trim pieces so i say do what you want, but i would not do pewter! if you are going to do it i would reccomend gloss black. i would paint 2 3 4 ,but not the vents, and 5 there are durability issues with the center console, i would know. i just think everything would look better if it was kept on the dash. the little defroster vents might not be a bad idea either, i also kind of like idea of painting the center console button, because it is such a light gray and doesnt match anything. personally i am happy how GM put together the interior, that is why i would not do it on my car and why i went through the trouble to repaint my interior. i would just be fearful that painting the interior could be considered rice. if you do it make sure it is done clean. i hope this helps you out a little.
p.s. sorry for the huge picture i just thought i would throw out my initial thought

Since no one thinks you should paint stuff, I think you should cover everything in leather. That would look nice and would definately be something that no one else has.

to me the camaro interiors dont look good when they are painted, id try and swap out the interior with that of a trans am and then paint those pieces, id take everything out and paint the majority of it black, then paint little pieces pewter, like the air vents, the radio bezel, the door lock/window switches, and the pillars. That would probably look sweet.
