Custom Interior Work, what does everyone think...
I'm turning everything that's grey to this red. I started with the air vents and the center panels. This is from just using regular spray paint and primer....I'm getting rid of the steering wheel cover and going with the torch red one.

Looks :cool: VetteWrench did the same to his Quasar Blue vert, but his was profesionally sprayed. Very nice job. :)
I also wondered if he had that done...

Thanks!
and for those of you that do like and would like to do it, it's easy. My friend did it to his as well. He car is yellow and did the inside yellow. It's looks sharp.
But what I we did was just cleaned them very well, cause if you use dressing inside you have to get that off first, and just hit it with a few coats of primer and then hit it with whatever color you are going with. I did about three or four coats. It came out nice and shinny. Which you can't tell on from the pics..

Re: Custom Interior Work, what does everyone think... (bwagner)
I was thinking about going with the red also. I think it sets off the black very well. Red calipers, red accents in the engine compartment, red interior accents, etc. I guess the only thing left is to get started.....

Kinda goes with my Admiral Blue with the Red Rollbar padding I put on last week in preparation for the Autorama. It looks good, but that is just a little too much for me. I need to take some new pics of mine.

I think it looks great! You did it tastefully,not a riced out color change that Ive seen in some interiors jobs.
I couldnt vote in the poll, sometimes the forum will stop responding for me so lately I just try to reply here then to add into the poll.
Also, I guess all that really matters is what you like...some people dont like to see anything changed in their corvettes but that makes for too many cookie cutters at the car shows.I like a little diversity every now and then.
