Default What color to paint inside of drag car???

Outside is going to be "Satin Black" or sort of a gloss/flat black combo. I dont know what color to paint the inside, i have it in primer right now. I dont want it to be black cause i think it will get way to hot in there, i was thinking a dark gray, but i want it to stand out a bit more.

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

I do like white, and did consider it, but wont it mark up way to easy. Just thought it would end up looking perty nasty after a while.

Just gives you a reason to keep it clean. A lot of WRC cars I've seen have white interiors and they get a little dirtier than most drag racing cars.

I considered doing that. One thing I always thought would be cool is to do white interior with the bed liner in the driver and passenger foot wells, but mask it off so they look somewhat like floormats.

If you search for pictures of the Pacman 240sx, I believe they used the bedliner on the floor.

To much weight.......... although it's a good spot for adding ballast(low center of gravity)
