Thread: what to paint??? :confused:

Just a bit more to add to the Pope's comments. If I remember correctly those were originally woodgrain look, so is that "correct"? It's up to you and the colors you choose, right down to the gauge face colors if you're very observant. Some compliment each other, others need some separation to work together, and others still just shouldn't be on the same street together. Here's some pics of a former car of mine that the new owner had upholstered. Nice work, nice complimentary color, but, to my eye, way too much of it in one place. I would have preferred the dash & column in body color (black in this case), but probably the wheel covering in the red. It would have been easier on the eye. The garnish moldings, again in this case, were okay in red, black actually might have been more distracting here, but would have worked either way.

In the end it's a judgment call which way is best.
