really not my cup of tea but i'll admit i did do that to my first eclipse back when i was 16.

however, looks like a quality job! good job, im sure later on down the line you'll want it black/grey again though, i know i did

Looks like a job well done. I'm surprised that you didn't paint the ash tray, cup holder and the airbag(s). Red seat inserts and red carpet might complete the look.

Spoold - I know what you mean, I painted mine blue when I had my 92 Eclipse when I was 18. I got bored with it in a few months.

pretty soon you are going to want the grey to be black. if i can figure out how to shrink my pics i will post them.

Looks sharp i always liked matching interior to exterior.

The ashtray was a suggestion by a friend when i was completely done. Now that i think about it, it would look good. I like the carpet idea. Thank you all for the replies. I just wanted to do something with my car and i thought it would look good. For the time being i do really like it, mostly because i did it on my own.

I did that on my old 97 gs back when I was young and stupid...about a year later I was regretting the day I ever thought about painting my interior. All I wanted at that point was to have my interior unpainted and looking stock again. I would say stop now while you're ahead. My gst will never see painted interior parts

For the stuff you painted...it looks like you did a good job

Meh, I think painted interiors look good. Just do a lil more to it. Not bad for a start.

red + grey? ...my esi came with those same interior pieces painted red. Needless to say it was the FIRST thing to go.

Well, maybe not red+grey, but its a start. Red and White maybe? Red and anything but grey maybe?

Yeah I did the same thing with my interior panels, had them done in white, looks good but my car is gonna be painted black I am sure I will miss the black

Red & Black =)

Does anyone know how hard it is to get the actual dash out? if it isnt a pain in the butt i will seriously consider changing the grey.

heres a few for ya
the dash isnt hard to get out, its getting it back in thats hard... I'm going to gank the dash again this winter, and have it sprayed with black car paint while i get my new body kit painted.
Perhaps a bit too red for me...

Definetly looks complete though. I wont be doing the dash anytime soon, probably during summer at the soonest. Did you do that yourself?

Looking at those pictures makes me feel hot LoL..I couldn't imagine sitting in it.

(not bashing)

Not bad. I did a few of my pieces a few years ago (silver on grey) and it's held up pretty good.

This is the only interior painting my car will ever see

How did you get around the air bag because if i could i would like to swap the black dash out of my rs to my gst ? Does the passenger airbag is that part of the dash or a cover for the air bag

I did the same thing to my ESI, painted anything the previous owner painted red, to silver. I like it but would never do it to my AWD. Kinda funny, but when I was sanding the red down I found out the red was covering up yellow. .

Nice job. Now you can go back to grey.

yeah,i did that too back in my my 2gnt days.ohh that was along time ago(last year) .Naww for real,i was bored,so i painted the plastics red.Like most people,i got tired of it after a few months.I painted the center ashtray thing,heres what it would look like.

Does that stuff work or eat through the plastic? I have used it on a car but it seems too strong.

when i strip down my dash of all the red paint, can i use aircraft stripper?
seems too badass for my dash... dont want it melting anything

i think he was kidding. aircraft stripper will RUIN your dash. DO NOT use it.

they have a more mild paint remove, it's a spray on. IMO just spray on, immediately wipe off. repeat until everything is off.

if you let that stuff sit, it will eat away the vinyl. TRUST ME.
