Painting interior panels is only intended for show cars that are garaged etc.

9 times out of 10 it just flakes off with hot sun and daily driver use. Trust me ive seen it before.

Yeah i might, i'm thinking red carbon dipped for the few panels. Just so it's not over kill with the exterior.
And getting black center red outside leather seats.

I painted mine about 4 years ago and regretted it since, there's nothing nicer then original or carbon fiber. I need to find some time to get some turps and strip it off
