right im looking to paint the inside of my car, the car is china blue and i was just wondering what people would be best. the two ideas that i have thought of are
painting centre console bit and blower surrounds china blue, and the door pulls and the vents gloss black,
painting the centre console, blower surrounds and door pulls gloss black and the vents gloss white
or if you got any other ideas let us no, cheers

As long as you use good lacqure, you can get a good finish
And i think gloss black would look good with china blue
