What color to paint car? - Honda Prelude Forum

I stripped the sound deadening out of the car and it looks pretty rough. Therefore I am going to paint it, but I am not sure what color to paint the inside. The car will have two black and red Sparcos in it(eventually), a black dash, black door panels, a red nitrous bottle, and the exterior will stay milano red. I am thinking either painting it gunmetal/bronze and getting color matched rims, keeping it Milano red, or painting it black. This is the only effort I am putting towards show, so I'd like your opinions. Assume that the stock black sideskirts and front lip will stay on the car. I am thinking about doing a side exit exhaust with a silencer, so I don't know how a front lip will fit.

you are asking what color to paint the exterior? If so, I would keep it red!

The interior.

Black nice and clean.

God I am confused...what part of the interior? Seats, panels, carpet, or the actual frame?

There is no carpetting, there are only two front seats and no panelling except for the doors. I am going to paint the metal. You know when you strip everything out of a trunk and there is just metal underneath it? Well the whole car is lke that and I am going to paint all of that metal. I just need to figure out which color. I mean, I know that black would be the easiest, but I'm not sure how it would look.

Ahhh, so you are hardcore into speed!!! I would honestly paint it black....any other color might be a little too much to look at, if you know what I mean!
