Small Interior Mod!

Hello All. I recently accented some of my interior pieces the same red as the exterior of my car, take a look here at:

Tell me what y'all think, good or bad!

the painting of the vents is not my style. i think it clashes with the rest of your interior IMHO.

I agree with krooked, it makes it look cheap.

Very nice job painting them, what'd you use

From the pictures, I though the reds were all photoshopped until I saw the zoom-in pic. Doesn't look so good IMO.

yeah, i hate to agree w/ all of you, but its true, it does look a little cheesy. if i were you i'd repaint or remove the paint. it looks orange to me

Eep! Well I know I like it, so I'm gonna keep it, except maybe the A/C knobs. I used "Plasti-Kote" Touch up (spray) Paint, by the way. And yea, I can see how it clashes with the rest of my interior, but nonetheless it's different, was fun and cheap to do, and I personally like it.

Thanx for being brutally honest, I respect and appreciate it.

You have to love the Sand interior. Everything clashes with it

. I am in the same boat for interior work, so I understand how frustrating it is to come up with stuff for this color. Looks like you did a quality job of painting, but maybe the red is too aggressive of a contrast. Perhaps you could soften its impact a bit. Also remember that you’re the only one that really can judge if it is good or bad looking. IMO Cameras generally don’t really give a true impression have how good, or bad, something looks due to there lack of aperture. Good luck with the future modifications

If i were you, i would just paint the center dash red. The red vents look very APC....

just my 2 cents

nice job painting...i can understand what you did...my first interior mod was painting the slim panels that go around the whole dash and doors...i meant to paint it red but it turned out red-orange..but hey this is just a start...im sure it will inspire you to do something better...remember i started the same way u did and look where my car is now...keep up the imagination it PAYS!

to fix up the A/C knobs, maybe you can paint one of them white and the other one blue. (red/white/blue)

Sorry, gotta agree with everyone else. I don't know if anyone else thought of this, but to me, the dash looks like it's made out of Legos.

It's not my style, but if you like it, that's all that matters imo.
