Painting interior pieces

[theamityvilletoaster]

So I have a Paseo that's the "Light Turquoise Pearl" color that seems to have been fairly popular on these cars, but I wanted some outside input on what I should paint for the interior pieces and what color(s) I should do. Here are some of the things I was considering:

Instrument cluster surround: The black trim piece that goes inside the cluster surround. Either Leave it black, spray it shiny silver, or the exterior turquoise.

Gauge trim: The piece in the actual instrument cluster that goes around the white-faced gauges. Maybe a CF stick-on appliqué cut to fit (ricey as hell, yeah), shiny silver color, white like the gauges, or the turquoise.

Audio/Climate control surround: Self-explanatory what this is. Silver or black would really be the only two decent-looking options for this, although turquoise might be an interesting look too, CF is far too cheesy to do here. Also considering leaving this piece black and painting the climate control fascia white, turquoise or silver, or painting them both. Also considering the ashtray, lighter, and cupholder surround /faces to match.

Window switch surrounds: Spray to turquoise or silver or stay with stock black.

Could possibly do the clock surround and/or glovebox latch any of these colors.

There's always those stick-on woodgrain kits too... lol jk all set with those; it's a christing Paseo, not a Lexus! :P

My first thought was just to do everything silver because I've seen it look really nice and give a sporty look to other cars, but I thought that maybe some other people's opinions would be nice too. And of course pics will follow when all is finally said and done.

Let me know what you think, oh experts of ToyotaNation!

Anything eye level i suggest u make black, NON glossy, or it will drive u crazy with glare when u drive in sunlight. anything lower does not realy matter, i made my carpet black and seat black so id go with black too

silver might work too as long as it aint glossy, toyota rav 4 i drove is silver inside, looks preaty neat.

so black or silver non glossy. Its also known as Matte.

Well another idea I considered was silver around the gauges and leaving the cluster surround black, but I wasn't sure if all the different colors would be too busy or not.

yeah ur right, dont do too many colors, two sounds good, im not so sure how the dashboard is gonna hold paint but the rest of the car is preaty paintable If u get a small brush u might even be able to paint details.

Fastest would be to take out all the parts u wanna paint, lay em out and then give em a few coats, use painters tape to cover stuff u dont wanna paint
