Default started painting interior

started painting my interior today, only got to the center console and gauge cluster though. basically any bit of trim thats black will be matched to the exterior red of my car. i haven't gotten to clearcoat yet even on these.


i'll post more once i paint the rest, clear coat, polish, and put everything back

did you sand them down first? If you sand, then paint... then repeat, then clear coat it will look super glossy.

i've been painting for a little while . yea, i sanded it down before hand and also sanded between coats of primer, so the clear should be pretty glossy. especially after rubbing compound and wax

You did a great job, however it seems you missed a few places. The inside of the coin tray by your radio and the vertical flaps in the air vents above the radio don't look like you painted them. They kinda stand out to me.

if I were to paint my intereior, it would be black and a medium walnut color almost like a burnt orange.... then Id paint the extiror black. But if I do that, i will have to get walnut or black leather seats. Alot of work but the end result would look very good.
