Painting the interior or not?

I have a question and would like some opinions. I'm planning on getting a paint job on my car. The car is white, but it is a aged and sooted white. Anywayz, I'm debating whether I want to strip it to become my drag/race car. IF I do decide to strip it, should I get the interior sheet metal (such as the hatch area, floor area) painted as well to match the car OR leave it alone?

BTW, the new paint color will not be white.

MODS: I just realized that this may belong in the exterior/interior section. Sorry. Please move if necessary.

If you strip it then you should defanitly get the interior metal painted too. Bare metal =

Well, I'm assuming that the interior sheet metal will be painted the stock vehicle color (white). So what will your opinion be then? A white sheetmetal interior paired w/ a non-white (I haven't decided on the exterior color yet) exterior. OR, should I get the interior and exterior all the same color?

I dont really like white as an interior color, too bright to look at all the time. I dont know about FD's, but I'm pretty sure that FB's have sound deadening coating the interior sheet metal, so I dont think its painted. On the same color thing, it all depends on which color you are getting. I think I'd go with a darker color for the interior, maybe even black. What color are the seats going to be?
