A little too much contrast for my taste, but well done. I like the badge "Sport"

Go get some duplicolor flat black interior panel paint, then go to Lowes, Menards, or Home depot and get some Satin Clear Coat. no gloss.

so would I be the only one that went from all black interior (its an SSTC) to Black and Grey? I feel it matches the Black and Grey seats perfectly and lightens up the interior a touch

Here's the steps:

1)Take panels out.

2)Sand them down using 400 grit.

3)Clean with soap & water

4)Light coat of primer & let dry

5)Another coat of primer, slightly heavier. let dry

6)then light coat of red paint, let dry

7)again, another coat of red, slightly heavier. let dry

8)then couple coats of clear.

Now I read elsewhere that you can also sand it again after it all dries for 24 hours with like 1000 grit. Then you can compound & wax it to get the best shine. I'll probably do this today.

Thank you. Will probably wetsand & wax it today. It's already clear coated.

I think I might just leave it tan, I think it looks pretty good with the mix. Maybe i'm different, lol.

I do like the tan interior you have there, With the black up top and the red trim line, it looks great
