depends what color your car is?

Done silver inside. My colour outside is raspberry. Only did trim items like vent surrounds,power window controls surrounds and around the gear shift boot not the entire dashboard. less is more in my opinion but go check out other peoples website of their mx-3s to get a visual idea on what can be done.

I originally started doing my interior in silver but my cars exterior is green. I then decided that is is time that I change the colour of the interior to a similar colour as the outside.....it is nice to open the door and see the same colour continued. <P>So if you have a silver car and then doing the interior in silver would look good....<P>It is ultimately up to you as to what colour you are going to be happy with.<P>cheers,

If you are planning on doing this yourself BE CAREFUL on what dye you use!!! I took it upon myself to take my car apart and dye it white and dark blue... Needless to say it looks like crap I preped it and everything and the dye did not take! It was supost to be penitrating dye... Which is now scratching off.. Now I have to pay someone 700.00 to fix it. Not to mention now that the interior is ripped out it will not go back in.. It would be safe to say at this moment that I hate my car! <BR>Good luck!

DONT USE KRYLON.....use SEM paint...it is specially made for use on interiors and will look WAY better....i used this on a few of my cars...its available at auto paint\ auto body stores..
