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!

What happens if we all recommend pink? smile.gif

Just go with what you like, not what people like.
Personally I don't like the painted plastic interior to match the body paint. Black is nice, so is grey.

I've also never really been a fan of the painted interiors but I have thought about doing grey / silver. I have something else in mind for my interior through.

is there a colour code for that grey? that looks brilliant. has more of a satin look to it?

box u got any pics? think black would go nicely with your red exterior tho. my car is pretty much all black lol need that bit of colour to break up the interior.

i dont like carbon fibre wrap. i have a bit of it in the car. it looks good but dont wanna cover all parts unless im skinning it but thats too over the budget for me.

grey is lookin good at the moment. suprised i aint got no weird color suggestions yet lol a friend of mine suggested flip paint and chrome but think thats too OTT. richee let me know a colour code if you can or something very close to it.

I went for the black/white color scheme, I understand why not everyone likes this and most of people would say it's too much, but I like it. Here's a feeler:

i had a very similar interior on my last GT (black white theme) i was a big fan of it but in my experience it was so hard to keep clean!

nice legs box laugh.gif i like the interior but think it blends in too much. u are right tho does look very classy.

what do ulot think of this?



Alfa romeo 8C interior. think it would look good in mine? black interior, red seats, red dials, silver interior to set it off.

come to think of it i can do with a different steering wheel also lol

Thanks. tongue.gif Yeah, I wanted something subtle. Something that'd stick out more and still be on the classy side would be a medium-dark silver.

leaning towards the alfa silver atm. the dark metallic silver reminds me of the gen 7 interior now. only thing i like about the gen 7 interior is the seats

The black base with a darker metal looks sharp! I like seeing how people are paying more attention to customizing interiors. I've always changed my cars' environment since the early 90's. Logically, we spend more time seeing our car from the inside, and suiting our own desires should have importance over what everyone else sees.

Im really against painting the interior car parts ae it looks terrible and devalues the car a lot and 2nd the paint smudges and lets go after a while lol, each to there own tho
keep it standard best way is what i reckon
