Default interior paint opinion

Okay i am stuck between 2 colors for painting the trim in my black 02 trans am. The dash is black and i was thinking of painting the trim eithor a dark blue to match my exterior decals or doing the trim in silver because i like the silver/black look, then getting silver tint done to accent it completely. If i go with the blue interior i will go with all black tint. Which do you guys think would look sweeter.

Please no negative comments, im going to do one of the two, i just want appearance opinions.

Thanks

I think the blue would look good, not many people do blue. Ive seen alot of silver interiors and thy both would look good but I say the blue.

If you are talking about window tint, do black either way. I'm not a fan of silver tint unless its a silver car (and your's isnt). Black window tint looks better on a black car.

For the interior paint color... blue or silver would both be fine.
* For silver, I'd pick a shade like pweter or brushed aluminum.
* For blue, I'd pick NBM or a darker cobalt.
* You can also go with a gloss black.

Here is an idea I had a while back
(edited photo, not real)
The blue maybe a bit bright but you get the idea.

I also attached a pic of a silver painted interior (the car is silver too) so you can see how it will turn out. This second picture is not my car. I think it belongs to a LS1Tech member though.

I also attached a pic of a black-painted interior.

i would personally go with the silver/pewter look, like in that second pic...it looks a little more classy IMHO

and get some custom silver/pewter instrument gauge faces as well

the troll would be optional!

I had a pic of a nice interior painted in silver but Its not on my computer and its just a print, If I had a scanner I would show you. The guy had a NBM car with custom leather seats that were two tone black and silver inserts with silver on the doors. it looked really good.

Yeah im thinking of going with the darker color blue, but you dont like the chrome tinted windows? i think it would look bad a$$ if anyone has any pics of a car with the chrome tint, or even the blue tint, i would love to see them.

When you start putting colored tint on there, in my eyes it looks a little on the ricer side... I would go with the DARK @$$ tint like 5% limo tint! It looks Bad ***! and as for the interior.... i would go with the silver it looks bad a$$ too!
