Should i paint or vinyl the interior of my car over the winter. i will paint the pieces gloss white or use white vinyl. what do you guys think. oh yeah i have a white 2005 lancer with 17"white rims....or would it look like there is too much white. And what about my sub box and trunk should i do the same with the trunk as well or wait till my new system is bought and installed?

 

Isn't this in the wronf forum. Anywhoo I think vinyl. It's removable if you dont like it or you can change it down the line if you go in a different direction

 

Vinyl wrap is the safer way...just in case you get tried of it down the down.

 

I say paint (thats what i did)

 

I think paint is harder, but looks a lot better IF and IF it is done correctly. Do not use spray paint, I think a good paint is an acrylic based paint

 

i say use spray paint.....but do it right. make sure you primer, do light coats of paint, take your time in between coats, let it dry really good, and use a clear coat. there's nothing wrong with spray paint if you take your time with it. :wtg:

 

Sorry to hijack, but im actually in the same boat.

If i were to vinyl my interior, does anyone know the proper techniques to doing this? And what kind of vinyl should be used? Does anyone know anyone who has used vinyl to change the color of they're interior?

Also I do not suggest using white as your interior color. Personally I like black and my car is white.

 

i used spray paint, painted the whole interior including glove box and under the steering wheel. not bad at all! and yea remember not to be cheap and not use primer! also clearcoat everything!

 

any pics?

 

^ whos pic?

 

anyone with modified interior would help me decide what to paint. thanks. sorry for the hijack

 

i painted mine last winter.. and clear coated the crap out of it!... I even used the inside of my car as a oven (heat on full blast) to help it dry quicker

 

B-E-A-U-tiful.

 

Looks really cool. A little too much red for me but I like it. btw, is your car Red?

 

here is a pic of my interior i used paint from pepboys took me awile to do it but no chips or fading at all! if done right it will turn out great!
