Default Interior paint

What color would look good on a silver car? I was thinking of silver or maybe blue. Kinda wanna do the engine in blue but I'm not sure what the interior would look like that color.

Thanks for any opinions,

Steve

Nooo, don't do it! I've seen pics of guys doing that with f-bods and I just cringe. That's as rice as you can get. No offense to anyone, but IMO it looks horrible. Not to mention killing the resale value.

I agree, do brushed aluminum or carbon fiber.

I have a brushed aluminum dash trim on my car and love it. You can get it from www.qualitylasercrafts.com , but you will have to call them.

I will have some pics up of the kit soon. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

It would be nice if they did the gauge cluster bezel in brushed aluminum.

If we all did the same things with our cars, where would the originality be??? If you want to go with blue, I say try it, you might surprise yourself! <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

I'm so sick of you people bashing what other people wanna do to their cars. I say a nice navy blue or so would look really good w/the silver car. You guys go out & buy the aluminum etc etc & pay all that $ if that is what ya want. It only cost me a few dollars to paint my interior & I love it. It's MY car so <img src="gr_tounge.gif" border="0"> The satisfaction ya get outta painting all the pieces yourself is great. Call it rice, call it gay. I don't give a flying fugg. <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0">

Good luck w/the painting. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

FreakZ28, How does the power mirror switch come off of that cover. I can get the lock and window switches off but not the power mirror switch. Any help would be great. I decided to go with silver instead of blue.

I have no idea how to get it off. I didn't take any switches off. I just put some masking tape over the switches & painted around em & it turned out perfect. Sorry, that I couldn't help ya get the switch off, but try the tape if ya don't get it off. Good Luck <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
