repaint

ok, compared to the bright red thats still on the center console, do you guys think the dark red looks better(driver side vent(not done) piece around gauges and the trim around shifter)

depends wat everything else looks like, seats etc etc etc

ay...goddamn rice boy lol

man why wont you just repaint everything back to stock color? fool...

one thing you need to repaint, ..........is ur bumper

If you're going to go with red, go with bright red. The darker color looks drab.

I say go with black...

it's cool ^^ something I wouldn't like in my car, hey guys, it's his taste what matters in the end... unfortunately.. ricy!

its allright i guess... i wuda kept stock color but atleast he did a good job of it, its not peeling and cracking like 90 percent of painted interiors

well, i originally was takin teh paint off with paint stripper, but that made the plastic all wierd, so i had to sand it smooth and repaint it...this is just temporary till i get new pieces inside and nothing will be painted...

That color looks like the color in those last 80s cars interior. Car nowadays dont use that color for interior anymore.

just put an aluminum dash kit or a carbon fiber one at that there are different colors to choose from. www.dashkits.com

i'd say leave it the bright red or if you want to repaint, go silver

silver woudnt match the black interrior tho..

and he'll have to paint all his other red stuff over to silver...haha i dun thin it loook good that way..

i was gonna say paint everything black...but ur theme is red n so is ur car so stick with it...

i think i might still get all new pieces(no matter the color) and paint them color matched again, i dun like how this turn'd out, shoulda never tried it but i was tired of the outside bein darker red and the inside all bright and shit, looked kinda wierd

im so glad i never painted any of my interior lol

yup, i painted mine with one of those color changing kits where, depending on what angle u look at it, it was either green, blue, purple, etc...it was a cool idea at the time, but everyone has a ricer moment and thats mine....

me too :rule:

mine has a mix of charcoal grey (gauge cluster) and silver surrounds on other areas and its all on a black interior.

mines 3 tones. dark grey, light grey, and red.

pics?

mine came with a all black of course and and some parts were painted. Pics are available on my homepage.

mine came in some sand colour and wood dash trim kit, the car wasn't mine, the center piece clear coat was badly abused, so I chipped off the worse part of the center (about some 60% of the clear) and the taped up everything, and passed it 8 coats of clear it looks WAY better than before...

are their any pics of a corolla with a alum. dash kit on it because i was intrested in buying one but i want to see what it looks like first.

not thai know of, but i recommend them since i have had three of my friends have bought from them for thier Fords and Chevys and they turned out great. they bought them for thier truck though.

/\ as long as its the REAL one and it matches the interior (beige + aluminum might look shitty) theres alot of cheap ass kits on ebay and such that are vinyl, theyre gonna look like just that....vinyl, spend the $$ and get the actual aluminum kit

they are 100% real kits.they are just a bit pricey. But i will buy one once i get mine up and running.

Here's a sample of my paint job using a silver textured paint and a metal flake black for other parts; looks mutch better in real life than in photo.
I liked the way the silver metal color contrasted against the earthly beige of interior:



I used the silver on the right. To keep the same color scheme, copper may be the way to go, could give that wood like look:



- Parts were soap washed, dryed and cleaned with mineral spirits (use rubber gloves to handle parts after cleaning)
- base coat of gray primer
- 1 coat of paint
- 3 coats of clear

looks pretty clean...but id think a carbon fiber scheme would looka little better with the beige

brushed aluminum really stands out on a black or grey interior since its such a perfect contrast

but it matches his covers sooooo well

if i end up getting it i will post it all for you to see.
