I don't understand how people can think spraypainting their interiors red, blue, yellow, orange, whatever can actually look good. It is tacky as hell, looks WAY out of place, and is just plain ricey. I did some silver in my GT and it looked decent, but if I went back id leave it alone.

If I had a black interior I wouldnt have touched anything, but the gray is just so horrible and boring. But I think I am starting to get sick of the red interior and am reconsidering it.

grey interiors are always a problem, nothing matches them... probably nothing except black... so if youre redoing a grey interior make sure you redo the whole thing to black and something else... because grey+any other color looks kinda tacky

i remember back in the "rice days" when i had an eclipse... it was a full grey interior... redid the whole thing to black and red, ill post some pics later to give you an idea... some might like it, others might not...

sgt.spuds...thanks for the compliment...
4ced, i agree...i think that a deep blood red goes AWESOME with grey and black, but i cant think of anyway to make it seem right in an f-body...you couldnt just do all the plastic peices in that red cuz it wouldnt colaberate well...the color would have to be in small accents...to much red could kill it...but if you could find a way to do just a LITTLE bit...something small like the window and lock buttons lol not realy but you get my point! id stick with black...cant go wrong with black and it looks deep and awesome

Did you paint that Interior yourself? Or did a body shop do it - What was the cost?

Man TUMBLRws6 that is one sick paint job. I like it.

I have the grey interior, and I am getting sick of it. I think I might just redo my whole interior in black to go with the outer color of the car. Down the road, I plan on getting the outside repainted the OMS. I love that color, and the black interior will look good with it.
