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 .

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.

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 )....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....

Presure that looks amazing. I want to paint the interior but I dont know what color to go with. My car is white so I can pretty much do anything...I'm thinking some sort of green
