nice pics guys...

anybody have silver or a charcoal color?
Just a word of warning to everyone, I did it and it grew old fast, to the point I wish it was black again. I kinda took out some of the "seriousness" of the whole interior. But hey, some will like it smile.gif.

I painted mine red a year and a half ago and still love the way it looks.
It totally makes the interior, and personally I think it should be painted straight from the factory.

Not sure if I have a picture, but I'll have a look for one if anyone wants it.
Here's my gloss black interior...

i used krylon fusion paint (its made for plastics)

no prep required....so it says.

I still wiped down all the pieces with rubing alcohol (not to much tho, or ull start to remove the color from the plastic, and ur paint will look odd)

Wow! These look awesome! I'm really impressed by dustin's and forkee's (probably because my fav colors are orange and blue tongue.gif )....but really these all look great!

I agree with rayme, though, I wouldn't want to paint it and then feel like it's too much...I'm gonna try and stick with my all-black leather interior idea....

....if I can resist temptation after seeing this....wink.gif
