Blue interior!

Post by Connor376 »

So i decided to go with a blue theme for my interior!
Still unsure whether or not i like the wheel but i'll keep it a while see if it grows on me, if not it can be easily replaced!

Thoughts?

This is my first time painting interior plastics

Personally, I think painted interior plastics look cheap. Best to stick to oem.

All in my opinion.

Sorry not a fan of painted interior panels either, but having said that customizing is all about what makes you happy when you jump in your car. different strokes for different folks.

mine came in from Japan painted white.. I hated it, really cheapens the look of it - reminds me of max power and redline

from:

I painted my stereo surround gloss black, it looks pretty good without being too noticable if that makes sense?

I was prepping in for my tablet install so it was a spare anyway, I'm happy how it turned out :)

It would look better with a decent finish to be honest.

Each to their own aye guys?!

I gave the painting a go to see how it looked and if i liked it which in all honesty i do...

Its not intended to be a show car, its simply my daily which i wanted to make my own.

My mates sending his FTO panels off to be carbon dipped, may send these off with it.
