Default Brilliant Idea...

Well my car is 8 years old... and the front bumper/side skirts/rear bumper and inner trunklid all need to be painted so im gonna go black all the way on the out side...
tell me how the car would look if u had outside black, with baige, then if i painted the upper half of my dash black... so the console and dask are black with baige on the rest... im not sure if u can paint that dish thing but i think it would look sick... if any photoshoppers want to try and make the upper portion of the dash black go ahead.

Just to let you know getting a car repainted a different color then it already is costs a lot of money to do. They have to respray the door jams, trunk, engine compartment etc.... just an fyi. However I like the tan and black setup.

I think that looks sick but have you tried having a professional detailer try to restore your paint? Or are there paint chips, etc?

who ever did photo shop... dont paint any of the tan stuff.... like leave the tan by the gauges and u need to finish the console black... Everything Tan Stays Tan... all that green goes black...

and yea i might keep it white, but u have to get front bump repainted and rear bump... and i have some weird paint decay on the inside of the trunk where the struts or w.e are... not sure on outside but i def want dash black...

a friend of mine has the tan /black interior in his 98 and it looks pretty sharp. ive got the grey leather and black interior in my 02 and i with my dash and console was 2tone in charcoal and black the way his is. would add so much more to the interior IMO

I have been thinking about getting some new seats and changing the color of my iterior. I have the same scheme as the OP. How do you paint the dash though?

ideally to do it right i would say take it all apart, clean it really well and use a good vinyl paint.
