Interior Spraying

[smacke]

Well im wanting re-spray the interior mfd ect, currently have them all sprayed silver but im wanting to change the colour but i cant decide on what, as i want to be able to match the colour to some material so i can re-do the door cards in the same colour

This is how it currently looks

Will also be spraying the tigra things and maybe my screens in the same colour

I'd say either the Blue from the GSI's or Red (but not too bright)

I thought about arden blue but wasn sure.....and also the new goldish colur on the new astra's

[corsa mtx]

i really do like it as it is mate tbh

[Steve]

A Bronzie gold would look good, especially with lots of laquer ;)

Thats the colour im talking about, you get it on the new astra's it's a very light goldish colour

[slugger]

It looks good as it is!!! black on the outside, black and silver inside! whats wrong with that?

[smacke]

I thought black would look poo:lol:

no all your black plastic, black seats etc, and silver highlights. Do the doors in silver to match and if you ever got a retrim could do it silver and black. Looks classy and not tacky!

Papyrus? They've stopped making that now!

A nice bold blue if you are retrimming as well. Either that or Red. Black and red always work together. Then again so does Black and Yellow. Something nice and bold mate ;)

[slugger]

basically leave the dash as it is, and have the doors trimmed in silver to match!

[lexie]

what colour did you use to spray the mfd and fascia? it looks a good match

[Steve]

Thats the colour im talking about, you get it on the new astra's it's a very light goldish colour

Yup! Thats the one.
Only probs with that colour is that you would either have to pay for someone to do it for you or do it with cans (again from vaux) at £13 per can :(

It does look nice when done right....but it's the same as everybody else has done silver ect so want something thats different but still not tacky and want to be able to match the colour to fabric so i can do the door cards aswell

[ka$h]

Ste, twin pack paints are only £6-7 from vaux, not £13. That'll teach you for living in the sticks and having to deal with Dixons :P

I looked at yellow but was unsure..i think the goldish colur is called panacotta

Ah yes that will be my bad!
I bought cans of paint @ £6 x2 (£12) and a couple of fuses (£1) total bill £13 ;) I just remember handing over £15 and the dozy bint behind the reception saying that they had no change so I unloaded a load of shrapnel from the car on her instead to make the £13 up :lol:

[smacke]

Ah, the replacement

Well thats what they call it on their website, but it may be the old colour i liked :lol:

[little_kev]

id say like a deep metallic blue, then go for a deep blue with the door trimming, and if you havent already blue lights behind ur MFD display, heater control, lighting controls and dials

[kits evil twin]

have a look in the motor-world catalogue that you get free with fast car this month, u no the one withe "kroozin" section,

well in there they have a page with all red and all blue stuff, like spray n material to do your door cards.

you might b able to buy material from sparco that matches the seats but am not soo shure on that, its just in the back of me head, and also its will probs cost a bomb comin from them!

[smacke]

Think im going to try yellow, see how thats looks

[Martin]

silver matches all the silver trim parts...


are you re spraying the silver trim parts aswel?

[smacke]

Will be spraying, monitors (possibly) speedo cowling, mfd cowling, vents surround, steroe fascia, controls surround, tigra things, then will be re-trimming the doors to match wateva colour i spray it, and new gaitors

[smacke]

Well just been and bought the paint and stripped most of the console out, thinking about having a single silver line or two, similar to viper strips :lol: going down the centre console to pick up on the other silver things like door handels ect...what you's reckon
