custome interior opinions needed

ok im starting to plan out customizing my interior and the theme is going to be black and silver and in doing so im going to paint some of the plastic pieces on the dash and some on the doors i was wondering if anybody had any insite into what type of paint to use i would be painting on plastic and the color would be silver. id like it to shine pretty nice. i dont want it to look like i just painted it. i was just wondering if anybody had any experience. and on that note i havent seen to many custom interiors posted yet im not shure if im just not looking right or if you all prefer the older stock look.

Take a look at my old thread here-->

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...s&pagenumber=1

Since then, I've done some minor updates, but still have some things to do when I get the time (put in the arm rest, s.shifter, secure the leather boots, etc.). I also haven't taken any recent pics, but the most up to date one is posted below.



The e-brake handle is not properly adjusted yet, as I was just trying it on for fitment at the time.

Perhaps I should finish up things a bit...

I just started my interior project of covering the interior black plastic pieces in silver carbon fiber with a gloss finish. I'm waiting on some samples (window triangles) to come back. If you have the money, time to remove, be without the pieces for two months, and reinstall them then you might want to go this route. I'm negotiating prices comparable to Mark's at (carbon fiber parts. net) Check this site out, he does the regular carbon fiber that looks good as well, but I got to be different. Also silver costs more for materials and the clear coat (non yellowing). PM me for more info.

I'm partial to a gloss black or a textured look like the 94.. Colors are good too, but not quite my style.

I want to redo all of mine, I have the legendary 93 peel off paint! I want to sand it all down and redo it all in flat black with that textured look, I always love the stock look of this stuff.

Those interiors look good. The carbon fiber one is my favorite.
