Default painted interior panels. check it out everyone...

sprayed everything with primer, wet sanded, sprayed gunmetal gray metallic, airbrushed ghost flames in blue, sprayed clear, and baked for a good 2 hours just to make sure the paint wont crack.

did everything at my dads auto body shop so all paint and materials were free. took about 2 days to do everything.

tell me what you think everyone!

Looks good, nice job on the flames. Now just change the color of the Camaro plaque from red to blue.

on the inside behind the door handles the flames go backwards. on the area where the window up and down buttons are they go up from that. you have to sorta squint your eyes to see the detail on the door bezels.
