          Hammered steel? Pewter? A darker brown?

            White would probably look good with tan... What color is your exterior?

                White would look awesome then. White matches everything right?

                  My big hesitation is that my pieces are original, I would want to find some out of a different one to do the painting on. In case I don't like it. lol

                      I kind like it, we need a good outside looking in shot from the driver side since you did the vents and stuff! What type of primer did you use on that, do you have a pic of the cans? (I do better remembering the look of the can than brand names when im in the store lol..)


                      I think it might look a little better if you got some white or clear? Cluster needles??

                        I didn't primer. It's $5/can at Walmart KRYLON FUSION. It bonds to plastic. It is a new paint for plastics that has only come out in the past 3-5 years. It works AMAZING. I could never get paint to stick when I had my festivas before.

                          Ooo, I like! Is that glow in the dark paint? Cool little touch of color whatever it is.

                            It's just gloss white that I used. They have probably 10 different colors at walmart in the fusion. Really makes you dash pop. If you decide you want something different, you pull it off, and repaint!
