Color advice

[scrupul0us]

So... I wanna do some custom colors for my interior and am having some trouble deciding what todo... heres what I want to paint... maybe you can give my some ideas

oh yea, I have a white cougar, blue LED conversion, tan leather seats...

things i want to paint:

dash fascia for the headlight section
dash fascia for the hvac section back to the arm rest
vent swivels
vent eyelids

My basic color scheme is to go with blue for the interior and red for the exterior, but I've having trouble deciding what what look good painted...

i like that as well
only thing else i'd cover in that pic is the door panels
other then that, its the exact setup i want to eventually do on mine

[scrupul0us]

be nice to know what exact paint that is... its like perfect... not too dark, not too light

That looks like an early version of Zman's interior... wouldn't surprise me that it's the car in the picture. You may want to drop him a PM.

Well I stopped by "wally world" thats walmart to you, and picked up a can of krylon fusion blue and some krylon clear cloat anti-yellowing

For those of you who have never heard of krylon fusion (which is obsurd) .:Link (http://www.krylon.com/main/product_template.cfm?levelid=5&sub_levelid=10&productid=1751&content=product_details):. If you click on the can there you can get their color pallet, i got blue 2333

"No sanding, no priming, no fuss"

I've used their textured stuff and with two coats of clear its still looking great after 5 years... so I have confidence it will work great.. I'm gunna start by doing the vent eyelids with this and see how they turn out

did you just say you have a white car and plan on going with red colors for the exterior and blue colors for the interior? Those will clash so bad, and look horrible, please keep one color theme going on such as white/blue on the exterior and blue on the interior. Red and Blue are almost exact opposites and willnot look good together, well atleast In my opinion

[scrupul0us]

youll never see them together

red calipers and red tubing for the engine... blue lighting and some basic blue painting... how is that going to clash?

[ClaymoreWW]

I think that he thought you meant you were changing from white to red overall exterior. It did sound like that.

[KnappstamaN]

yeah , sorry i thought you said what claymore said.

[scrupul0us]

lol... no way... i aints rich :)

keeping the body white and doing some misc things red outside:

-calipers
-washer nozzels
-engine tubing

and possibly some combination of white and red within the headlights, maybe the eyelids red and the rest white...


but im completly agree.. a red car with blue interior would be like a color blind person doing a paint by number :)

hmm may not stick out that much, but I still think it won't flow that good together! It'll look confused I think... especially if your like me and like to show your car off in entirety, you'll show them the white and red and then BAMN blue haha! especially if you do like red halos, the person will follow you to the lighted blue interior (I saw all those preety blue switchs you just did) and it'll be all lite blue and then shine red on the outside and people will be like :S HUH what just happened lol! but hey if you go ahead and do that I can atleast call you captain america after that :D hehe!
