hey guys just wonderin what the go would be to paint the interior white and what would look best if i just left it. not a fan of the dull grey interior is in perfect condition, would i just use a plastic primer straight over it then use my white, and i take it a brush is what ill need, lost licence for 6 months so gives me alot of fuel money to spend on making her look nice

cheers

Dont know its all down to personal taste....as the saying go's "one mans passion is another mans poison" :)
suppose you could grab the parts you want to paint from a wreckers and try different combo's, if it looks crap return to the orig parts......

Personally I'd say doing the whole lot in white would look terrible and would be hard to keep clean. If you do decide to do the entire interior I'd go with satin black and then do your stereo surround and the cluster fascia in the white. Maybe even look at recovering the door cards in white vinyl too?

I did my old ute a while back. Just metho everything to get any grime off and then the vht vinyl dye is the easiest to use for the job since the colour actually sinks into the plastic instead of being just a coat over the top.

I would suggest Vinyl Dye and not the whole thing. Demonica has a good idea.
Go Satin Black and then the Dash + Small part of the centre console White
