So what color should I match with this "red" interior to make it pop?

First post, stumbled upon this website... ridiculously useful! ALready fixed three things, don't feel as lame about my 91 LX with the automatic seatbelts.

SO... have the lame, horrible, beat-up silverish-red tinted stock color paint with the red interior. This old lady drove this till about 160,000 (will post pics on next post, promise) and have labored through school with it. The scoop:
stocker engine, no mods whatsoever, am looking to sweeten up the ride now that I graduated. Can I paint this thing black? Probably not, I know, but maybe you peeps can answer better what goes better with this interior.

Also, is it possible to touch up/paint dash? What about alternate dash ideas?

you can just swap out dashes with the same one, maybe if your pretty good at touch up you can paint it. As far as the color problem Black or white IMHO.. black would be best, maybe do some black on the interior too.

woah after reading that HT thread i think i'm going to try using that SEM paint on my doors panels. all 4 have this weird white "speckled" crap on it. No amount of scrubbing has gotten rid of it.

i still have a couple of bottles of SEM vinyl spray paint at home, its what i used to do my doors, its pretty durable on dashboards and doors makes it look oem. but i wouldn't recommend using them on hard plastics like (shifter counsel, pillars) because they scratch off just like that.

Thanks for the input thus far, I am thinking of getting an arcadia green 93 (no auto seatbelts) and go black leather with the tan interior and already black dash.

So... after staying up till three am reading what everyone else is doing with their cb7's ... okay so not going to change the color of the dash... But what color goes with the burgundy interior on my 91 lx (not sure if that is the name of this red)?

My vote is to paint/mix black INT parts with the red. If my car were red, white or black, id TOTALLY do a Black/Red INT

[piwko4me]

personally, id try to get rid of all he red. Complete black inerior would be sweet.

I agree, but i wouldnt necessarily say all of it, give a a few accents, a few lines here and there. but all black would look sweet

i have burgandy interior also with the burgunday dash, i was kinda confused about your post are you talking about painting the exterior of the car a color to go with the interior? if so i think charcoal grey or a nice silver would look good with it
