Styling my interior

puntomadboy · Jan 29, 2008

hi guys

any idea what colour i could do the main dash, i have already sprayed the center console, cigarette lighter, door pannels, steering wheel console, glove box door, air vents, door handels and now the dail surround....

they are in a nice racing blue and look great IMO...just wondering what colour i should do the rest, such as the main big dash....i dont like this grey it is too depressive....

imo you dont want it too colourful as it will look cheap and tacky!

nice colour coding though!

no i thought not, i was thinking turning the grey into a nice shiny black..
that was wont look OTT and be a nice blend with the blue..

nice colour coding though!

thanks

yeah black would set it off nicely

always thought the grey looks a bit 'off'

thats what i want.. get rid of that horrible grey....
was guna go for a red but like tris harris said it would be cheap looking...
so i think i will go for the black.....

just one question would it be safe to spray paint while in the car (wont start a fire as the paint is extremly flamible).... i dont really want to take the whole dash of like i did with the other peices.....??

yeah steer cleer of red :yuck:, it'll look like a toy car
i think it'd be a lot safer and easier spraying it outside the car, plus it'd smell, the 'fumes' haven't got as much room to move about and you risk getting paint on other things, blah blah blah, it might be a mission taking the dash out, but compare that to how careful you're gonna have to be spraying inside the car and having to mask the windscreen etc.

that's how i see it anyway

You are honestly trying to say that what you have done to that poor interior does not look cheap? I think it looks awful, and it's a total barry mod :bang:

A interior from any of the GT's or even a coupe would have looked a milllion billion times better.

You sir, should be driving a corsa b. :idea:

lizardlace · Jan 30, 2008

is this easy to do? my interior is boring and would like to do this.

Who can i pay to do it?

Trist · Jan 30, 2008

just concentrate on the road

well thats your opinion...

but i hated the same old boring grey so i decided to colour code it.. (many people do it to there interior).

and it is not a bad as some of the others i have seen on the net.....and if you dont like it then dont post on this tread then......

was very easy to do, just took apart the peices and sprayed them with a £15 tin of interior paint from halfords, sprayed on 2 coats, then coated it in 2 layers of laquer....

you could pay a body shop to do this for you, but it would cost a bit...IMO it is cheaper to do it your self if you got the time.....

Trist · Jan 31, 2008

i think i lighter blue would've suited the interior better with black, the colour you've just done's a bit bold, but w/e you're happy with, can't please everybody

lizardlace · Jan 31, 2008

i guarentee if i do it myself i would mess it up

Golden rule:
Car should have only 2 colours!

So in this case, you have the blue, the black and the silver, since you dont like the silver, black is the best, off course maybe some blue bits if there are any left unpainted

So anything else you do on a car - black or blue

i know this rule of 2 colours, thats why i made this thread asking what colour i should go for... at the mo it is blue grey and black in there thats why i wanted to spray the grey to make it two colours...
its the same outside the car, iam making it two colours white with as little black as pos......
