Default project for the summer

my project for this summer is to paint all the vynil in my civic. My car is silver exterior, what colors would u guys think go well with it. Im thinking blue or red.... leaning towards red (fav color )

also which brand of paint would be best for painting vynil.

Also i plan to install fog lights as well.... does ne1 have a place that sells OEM 96-98 fog lights. Cuz most places ive seen have only the 99-00 ones. I want ebay to be last resort :squint:

I don't think that would look very good IMHO.

I'd keep your current color interior. What color is it. Maybe paint it black if it isn't already black.

yeah same here. ive done it before. had a black si and spray painted the ash tray, air vents, and power window panels red. it was cool for a while, but kinda tacky, so i had to buy all new parts from honda, close to $300 =/ but everyone has there own taste.

It's very hard to keep a painted interior in good condition. When I had my hatch, the interior was painted black (from an ugly oem blue) and the paint chipped all the time. By the time I sold the car, the interior looked super ghetto.

If you want to do anything painting interior wise, just do the accents silver or something. Thats what i did on mine. It looks better IMO and you can easily take out the accent pieces to be repainted if it does happen to chip

I dont think Red or Blue will look good going onto the interior of a silver car
