Interior color opinions

Well a few months back, I decided to pick up some extra dash pieces from a junkyard to PTM to the exterior color. Well after having them for awhile, I've kind of grown away from the look, mainly just because the painted pieces are too randomly painted so it throws off the flow. I also didn't do that great of a job on the painting either. I will evetually have the dash pulled and professionally painted.

But until then, I don't want to have the stock, sand tan dash. Seen it for too long.

Should I try a flat black like 1clean42 has done with his dash? Or another subtle color? Any opinions are appreciated.

My interior (without PTM trim pieces):http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k...r/CIMG2207.jpg, http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k...r/CIMG2205.jpg

1clean42's interior: http://www.f150online.com/forums/mem...9-100-1945.jpg

Will the black fit OK with the exterior color of my truck?

As long as it's a dark color so it's not reflecting on your windshield.

Yeah. I don't want to do something glossy. The dash in my g/f's 05 Civic is WAY too glossy, and causes really bad glares.

I probably won't paint the top dash portion like 1clean has, but will do other pieces....I'm looking for a flat black with a flat clear....

I painted some of my interior a flat black to give it some accents.



Anyone have some opinions of anything else I should paint on the interior? Let me know. Thanks.

Working on it. Going to get some 2-tone similar to GatorCrew, but just debating on dishing out $700+!
