Has anyone painted their interior of their car? My car interior is two toned and I'm thinking to go all back. I went to a custom body shop and the way they paint the interior is with car paint the shop does pretty good work however I have heard bad thing with painting your interior and I do not want my car to look cheap. So is it worth getting it painted?

Thanks Guys

If you want to get a good nod from the judges when your car is sitting next to that Mistubishi, then you should paint it. If you just want a cool car, make it go faster!

:Word:

The only thing I have painted in my interior was my instrument cluster bezel (the face with the holes for the gauges). I got a silver A/C face and I used VHT aluminum caliper paint (left over from old calipers) and the match between the 2 is great. Things that are subtle like that I think are okay, but to paint the entire interior does tend to look like a Mitzu-Honda-Nissan-ish.

Instead of paint, head for some IUP bezel/trim and some billet.

Painted my door cups. Prep is the biggest part of painting plastic. It has a little bit of orange peel look but that's because of the texture of the plastic. It still look gooes though. Sorry about the pics, lens has a crack
