Right. wasn't sure if I should open a thread for this but I would love to hear the opinions of other fellow 6gc'ers.

I'm looking to paint my interior trim again. (it is red. centre console vinyl wrapped brushed aluminium) any suggestions or pics etc of what colour I should do it? or what y'all think would suit best?

I have a black car with red leathers, red footwell lights and red led dash etc and a polished gear knob (soon). so lookin for a diff colour trim. was leaning towards thunder grey.

will choose the color that gets recommended most!

What happens if we all recommend pink? smile.gif

Just go with what you like, not what people like.
Personally I don't like the painted plastic interior to match the body paint. Black is nice, so is grey.

I've also never really been a fan of the painted interiors but I have thought about doing grey / silver. I have something else in mind for my interior through.

i dont like carbon fibre wrap. i have a bit of it in the car. it looks good but dont wanna cover all parts unless im skinning it but thats too over the budget for me.

grey is lookin good at the moment. suprised i aint got no weird color suggestions yet lol a friend of mine suggested flip paint and chrome but think thats too OTT. richee let me know a colour code if you can or something very close to it.

I went for the black/white color scheme, I understand why not everyone likes this and most of people would say it's too much, but I like it. Here's a feeler:

nice legs box laugh.gif i like the interior but think it blends in too much. u are right tho does look very classy.

what do ulot think of this?



Alfa romeo 8C interior. think it would look good in mine? black interior, red seats, red dials, silver interior to set it off.

come to think of it i can do with a different steering wheel also lol

Thanks. tongue.gif Yeah, I wanted something subtle. Something that'd stick out more and still be on the classy side would be a medium-dark silver.

leaning towards the alfa silver atm. the dark metallic silver reminds me of the gen 7 interior now. only thing i like about the gen 7 interior is the seats

The black base with a darker metal looks sharp! I like seeing how people are paying more attention to customizing interiors. I've always changed my cars' environment since the early 90's. Logically, we spend more time seeing our car from the inside, and suiting our own desires should have importance over what everyone else sees.

Im really against painting the interior car parts ae it looks terrible and devalues the car a lot and 2nd the paint smudges and lets go after a while lol, each to there own tho
keep it standard best way is what i reckon

Iv had paint in my car for last 2 yrs. it hasn't rubbed off or "melted" or nothing. there's a bit of chipping where I dropped stuff or caught it with a screwdriver but that's it. u always kept urs black?

If you know what you're doing it turns out nice and holds just fine, the secret is in preparation and using the proper primer, paint, and clear.

iv thought about doing alloy wheels with hydro graphics but im really not sure how well it would hold up. its too expensive to try and then **** it up lol but graphic possibilites are endless with them tho! dont you think our interior pieces are too "thin"/not enuff surface space to do stuff like that?

I've had red painted interior, woodgrain wrap and now carbon fiber wrap.

+1 for CF..


mines original 3m black cf.. I'm a fan of complimenting colors vs contrasting colors. When i had mine in red it became rough to look at after awhile.

Oh ok yeah ive seen a few of my mates cars where they painted the interior parts and its let go and smudges. they must of used crap paint.

But yeah ive always kept my interior black original colour. looks mean when you shine the black interior up.

every ones different tho

im a huge fan of contrasting colours but since my car is mainly black and red i thought i would add a third as an accent colour. and you are right the red has become a little rough to look at lol that cf wrap looks good. how is it holding up? have u had it for long? my centre console is wrapped in brushed aluminium atm. looks good but it has that "fake shiny" look to it if u know what i mean hence why i want a paint job. maybe a satin finish

Hyreodipping is worse. Ive seen hundreads and only ever seen one good print which looks like real carbon.
Nothing beats the real deal.

On average how much would it cost to skin the items in a couple layers of carbon fibre like that in the pic? ur right... nothing beats the real thing damn. looks so good
