to paint or not to paint that is the question

Just curious what do yall think of painting the trim on the interior red to match the rest of the red neons, and racing stripes. I have the SS/NA so I don't have the interior like the SS/SC.

I agree that's why I told them to take their time and prep it correctly No offence was taken as you have given pretty good advice in the past

painting an interior is usually disgusting. But then I am kind of a puruist.

A minmal amount might work. That yellow looked all right.

doesnt look glossy to me though...... maybe it is just the light, but clearcoated interior after being color matched is the way to go.......

No clear coat was used I used a semi gloss because nothing else has a clear coat so I didnt want it to "pop-off" to much I like the matte look myself, it seemed that the guy's on the Payson run liked it also If you do clear coat it do about 3-5 coats and allow to dry between coats then color sand and polish

Haha, why's the SS so huge on the right side? Did you replace the stock one with one that's on the outside of the car?
Paint looks good though, I'll send you my pieces this weekend so you can paint them blue for me.
