i think white and black interior is difficult to pull off effectively in an FC interior. The Contrast becomes just to extreme, and because of the design of the cockpit it makes white black transitions look choppy.

If you are going to attempt it, i suggest that anything in your natural line of sight should be kept black or keep as much white out of the normal eye pathway as possible. White is very strenuous on the eyes when faced with contrast of black, more so as your driving.

If you attempt to change the color of your plastics, consider a vinyl wrap, white carbon, or white fabrics that you can adhear to the plastics rather than spray painting them white.

If you choose to keep the majority of your dash black but your finding it hard to find a place for a white contrast, remember that white stiching on the leather of the dash can be a great point of contrast, and is easy on the eyes.

a decent example
