Default Interior painting question....

I have a white civic hatch with some white rims. I am about to paint some interior parts. I think it will look nice and match my car, but I don't want to do too much. I was thinking about painting the air vents trims, the center console, door handles, maybe the glove compartment.....I would eventually want to pain the whole interior, but that's a heck of a job. An all white interior would look dope though. I actually won't paint it. I'll be using sem dye for interior. I'd like some input on this.

Thank you

Dye is your best bet.

I used model paint that was fire and fuel proof. It is called Pactra and my white paint is Sprint White. It comes in little spray cans that cost $7 CDN each. You can get them at any Model Shop. I also bought some clearcoat to give it a protective clear layer over that. It is really stong and try as I might I cannot scratch it. Dying is usually only needed when you do the soft interior parts, like your dash, doors, and steering wheel. If you would like to see a pic of my interior just go to my website (link in signature) and click on the My Cars link then CRX link and there are 2 pics in there of it. If you would like some instructions you can email me or look on my website under the interior garage section.

My interior is ugly blue. I needs some painting to enhance it. I'm not talking about painting everything, just the plastic parts, the trim parts and the center console. I don't think an all blue interior looks nice. I need a change.

By the way, I hate when people tell me what do to. I want opinions, not orders!
