Default did some interior painting

i had some left over paint from my car, so i decided to see how i liked a little paint on the inside. im really happy with the way it came out, put several coats of clear over it so its nice an glossy. it gives the interior that much needed touch that camaro's lack in my opinion. not sure if i want to do the door handle bezels, and the piece around the gauge cluster, but ill see how i like these after a few months and go from there.




last one is blurry, sorry

Normally I hate it when people paint their interior pieces, but yours looks pretty damn good, nice job.

Me too. If people use a red or blue, it looks kind of ricey. But with a color like that, it looks really nice. Like it was supposed to be that way.

I think when you paint the door handle bezels is when it starts to get out of hand. Get them reupholstered (or do them yourself) to match the color of your car.

That looks great. I think a lot of people paint too many things when they do their interiors, but that looks like it is just the right amount. Nice job.

Don't paint the doors or the gauge cluster I think it looks badass just like it is! You didn't over do it and like 99]problemz said (dont paint the door switch panels i think that is where the ricey line gets crossed )
