Less... red... please, for the sake of my retinas.

I don't like it. I doubt this will look good, seeing as you painted the skin, and will contrast nastily with the colours of the dash that its lines flow to... I doubt you catch my drift, but yeah... KISS.

Holy **** thats a lot of red..! What did you use to colour the door trims/glovebox as its a very soft, vinyl-like material??

thats alot of red.... i like it except for the glove box and door skins.... the rest looks shimck

Wouldnt you prefer a 2 colour scheme? Red and black or somthing.

Yeh looks a bit overdone imo sorry mate!!

the console looks the goods but the rest looks out of place!!

yeah im going red and black all they bit thats anit red are going black, the door trims are dyed the feel the same as a normal skin just changed colour, the bit under the steering wheel column and the glove box is getting done in vynal soon just wanted it red till i get it done, its alright if you dont like it cos i know i do and im happy of what i have done

EDIT: the colour of the doors is pretty much the same colour as the dash its just the camera i took it off thats all

That would look pretty good then.

less is more? unless you go completely all out and have a autosalon car that is done in every aspect

Well, at least the Sony head unit will fit in with the scheme...

Dude, regardless of anyones opinion on the color, looks like you are doing a top job of the painting. Good stuff.

man thats the important thing in the end...

All I can suggest (as I have planned to do this myself, however a little more black/red contrast) is that you use a SOFTER red. So its not so "OMG EPILEPSY" lol

Red with a little more darker (maroonish?) tinge like you see in luxury european cars.

Use a red that subtly blends in, and use more black to contrast. Not one that screams at you every time you get in the car. That isn't the point of painting the dash pieces etc.

However your paintwork is fantastic! :D

like it dude everyone has there own opinion if reds your colour go with it

in my old car every thing was blue not everyone liked it but i did and thats what matters

hey man...the job itself looks MINT as...but red isnt my colour...its too flash for me...i think a bit more black to balance it out...and it should be schmick man

QUESTION FOR EVERYONE.
I'm looking at doing the interior of my TR. I'm wanting beige leatheer seats, beige vynil dash (top half) with suede (bottom half) where the nasty harsh plastics are. I'm looking at doing the doors in beige vynil and with the botom half in suede, slightly mimicking my dads VE. haha... also, i'm looking for somewhere that will mould black short-fiber carpetting for me. Who thinks the beige will be coolish or foolish?

Looks like youve put a fair bit of effort in dude!:bowrofl: The job itself looks real good, and the paints coming up heaps good! i wanna see the finsh product now tho! Are those rims in the background are they for the magna?

nah lol since its been raining it of my brother Subaru lol he wanted to changed so he can go drifting :bowrofl: but nah im not of a fan of those rims, im just getting racing rims from just japs in Sydney like the ones u see on alot of drif/race cars

i can see and appreciate the work involved, but oh god i wouldnt wanna do shiftwork with a car like that...getting in there at 3am in the morning...no thanks!

as others have said tho, better suits a whole themed autosalon car or something, and wouldve rounded the whole theme out if the car itself was red or black...

would ppl please google the word 'contrast' tho, or am i just wasting my breath? :P

are you going to do the rest of the dash? i think its gone so far that it all should be done red now.... wasn't a complete fan of the first stage, but some of my favourite hot-rod interiors are completely red, which kinda makes it 'less' red, if that makes sense!

yeah but not red the inside is going RED and BLACK and later on im getting the out side in black with purple pearl, but i got a question for youse all, see the doors? well should i put red vynal inserts or do them in black? thats including the map pockets, cos ive got chrome window winders to go on and plus putting black speaker covers on iduno if it will look to over done with the inserts and map pockets done in red as well, cos the rest of the dash is going black, so give me ur ideas please :D

black vynal

i think the insert and the top section of the door should be black, to match up with the dash.

Nice work :) its extremely bright! I would have went for something like this though.

hey dude,

looks like you done a top job with the painting cant really see any runs or anything.

i think congrats for having the balls for doing something different and posting it up, you tend to find ppl on here are a little scared of new concepts with their magna but in about 6 months time you will prob see a few copycats and other ppl wantin g to do it also lol ..

if i could afford it i would go all beige interior lol

i like it but agree with asylum. in future, the dash and everything will look cool in that colour when u get it done. u said u dyed the door skins? how'd u do that? i tried painting mine black and the crap kept on rubbing off LOL

hey dude what did u use to apply the red to the dash and is it the same where the black is going ill send u a pic of my car soon im doing the same but with lime green im also removing the roof lining and putting black up there

nah the the red bits on the dash i used a thing called K&H or something vynal/plastic paint, and the black is gonna be the rest of the dash were you can see red and im not using the same thing for that, im using the proper stuff

Nice work :) its extremely bright! I would have went for something like this though.

nah dont like it dude, ive done it bright cos when i do the black its gonna tone it done a little bit and wont stand out as much and im doing red and black because im getting the out side of my car painted black with purple pearl, and im re painting the engine bay too and thats gonna be red and black

I wouldve gone with a cherry instead of purple seeing as the inside is red. I have seen quite a few custom paint jobs with cherry or apple or whatever they call it.

i think the insert and the top section of the door should be black, to match up with the dash.
A great idea there, Digger, please do this.
