Would you mind editing the post and changing the pics to links, they are a little too big.

I think you should consider doing the dash-pad / airbag lid and center armrest with same color but add flex-agent. Would look like a Callaway interior!!!

As for the original question - I think it is a little bright. But- I must admit, for a home-made spray-can job, I think the quality of your job looks VERY VERY SHARP!!!!! If I ever do that, I hope it will look half as well done as yours....and I will be happy.
I would really like to see that when it is done.....I would love to see some sort of brushed aluminum look, hence I was thinking about a silver type color....i dunno.
I do think these mixed color interiors really do add your own personal touch. Whoever said to paint the armrest too - that would really make it flow all the way down the center nicely, I think.
Looks like I'm going with pewter. I'll post pics when I get this thing finished!

"Stupid Question", but I am not too familiar with anything when it comes to paint. I guess I just need to get any 'ol can of primer, and a regular can of du pont(or whichever) can of spray paint. Are there any particular types of paint that would be suited for the trim pieces? :confused:

I am going with the touch-up paint. If you go to your local trak auto, it is the smaller spray paint next to the bigger cans. I got gunmetal grey and will be doing it later this week!!

Maybe I'll swing by Arlington when I finish. I work right off of King St and live down in Lake Ridge... :cheers:
