My car color is yellow... What color should i use for interior?
1. Yamaha blue
2. Supra blue
3. Sunburst /CYM yellow ( my car color)
4. Bright Red.
5. V- Red.


what ya think?

 

what do you mean by paint? like the dash and trim? what color are your seats gonan be ?

 

i should write more detail .. sorry bout that
im talking about entire dash board and other plastic parts that starting to peel....
my seats are black. oh yea.. feel free to post ur interior picture here

 

I think the yellow might look good. I really like the gunmetal grey, but, in my car with tan seats, and black dash, I think it would be a little much. In an all black interior, I think most any color would look good. Just think of how it would look from the outside, though. I think too contrasting of a color (i.e. red or blue on yellow) from the inside to the outside may be a little funky. But hey, whatever licks your lollipop.

 

how about flat or satin or semigloss black. . . keep it closer to stock

yeah i agree.. a dark blue might look good, or the yellow.

 

if i were to re-paint mine i'd do it black again, and then change all the tan stuff for another color, the outside of my car is black so it would go with most anything, i wonder how much $ it would cost though.

 

I wants to paint it with yamaha blue...
hmm..but will it look good with yellow exterior... hmm...


thanks for ur comments..

 

Better just go with clear, otherwise you're not gonna be able to see out, dude.

 

I hope you are planning on taking your plastic to a paint shop and have them done by a professional...

Dont use spray paint.

 

I'd say look in the interior/exterior/audio section fo rexamples of painted interiors...

IMO I'd go with something less radical than you think that you want, because 3 or 4 months down the road you'll hate looking at some funky *** color. Look at some of the OEMs that have multi-colored interiors (i.e. porsche) and take a few tips from them...

The graphite on black sounds like an excelent idea, not too loud, but just enough to be original. In the end only you can decide

Yea.. im def taking it to pros... i don't want my interior look alll ricey

thanks guys!

 

umm gunmetal.

i agree with unixpilot...i used spraypaint on mine and it looked great the first time, but after a few months it wore off because i didnt use a clearcoat. I redid it with a cheap clearcoat...it was decent... but in the end i wound up having a bodyshop use gunmetal car paint and car clearcoat which would be able to handle all the wear.

 

You don't want it ricey, yet you're painting it a high-contrast yellow, blue, or red. That makes sense.

 

would you just take your plastic to a body shop? Or where else would do it? Any suggestions for silver car?

im talking about paint quality. personally i think yamaha blue will look good.. reason im doing this? because my interior is peelin pretty bad.. especially center console..
i was thinkin about C/f kit..........i'll keep ya update.


yes im going to take my plastics to body shop...

 

I understand not wanting to look ricey, but I already have the only red FD in town so it isn't like I don't get all the looks already.
I decided to do my interior myself. I used flexible automotive paint. I removed the panels I wanted to paint, removed the old paint (otherwise it will peal) with sandless pads (keeps from scratching the surface) then painted.
It cost me $20 in paint, $5 in sanding pads and my time.

Turned out better then I would have thought!

if you want to see it in blue

 

Coop! looks good man! im lookin for high gloss finish...
That blue looks REALLY good puma!! I LOVE IT

did u do it by ur self? if u took it to shop.. how much did u pay? mad props for AC relocation mod!

 

well i didn't paint it myself, i had a friend with a spray gun do it but i did the sanding and the relocation thing.

the paint application is the only thing i didn't do.

if you don't know anybody who uses a spray gun, go to a body shop.

better sanding it yourself, it will cost less.

 

coop: nice job that looks very nice. I did the same thing.


So here is my two cents from someone who already went thru this. Im not a interior guy thats good with paints and **** like that.

1. Be patient and cautious pulling the stuff off. Search the forum,

2. Take the plastic parts to a bodyshop and have them painted with a high quality flexible paint and clearcoat.

3. I would advise on NOT painting the entire curved piece that covers the gauges, just paint the outer section. Reason being is that it will reflect in the drivers field of view.

4. Have an extra set of hands around when your putting it back together...Those door panels can be tricky to get lined up.


These are the tips I have after doing mine.

I did all the work myself and used high quality flexible spray paint.

Sanding all those pieces was a MAJOR pain in the ***, I musta spent 4 solid days and my hands were destroyed.

Mine turned out "ok" but like others have stated, it just doesnt hold up to wear or have that glossy wet shine.

Good luck

 

I'm sorry but painted interior pannels are ugly IMHO. If you have to paint it any color, I would suggest black or something close to stock.

 

I'd send mine to forum memeber mkoch1 and have him cover them in carbon fiber. Looks hella cool, and should last longer than painting. Here is a link with photos and pricing:

Hey puma do you know where I can by those nitrious triggers seperately? Or does anyone else know?

 

Hey, Chan why are you trying to copy me? Just joking if your really going to paint the interior I would say go with yellow.
