Right. wasn't sure if I should open a thread for this but I would love to hear the opinions of other fellow 6gc'ers.
I'm looking to paint my interior trim again. (it is red. centre console vinyl wrapped brushed aluminium) any suggestions or pics etc of what colour I should do it? or what y'all think would suit best? I have a black car with red leathers, red footwell lights and red led dash etc and a polished gear knob (soon). so lookin for a diff colour trim. was leaning towards thunder grey. will choose the color that gets recommended most! --------------------  "whoever said progress was a slow process... was probably talking about me" |
