to anyone that has painted their interior red, did you have it done or do it yourself. Im trying to match the interior red with my exterior. Let me no if you had any luck matching this color and let me see the results! I want it to be really high gloss, like how it looks when done professionally.

Me and my friend painted mine. We went to Autozone and bought AutoSpray in the Super Red color, and the match is really good. Here is a pic.<br>

These were done professionally for free when my Kaminari was painted and installed.

Oh, and the vent covers (not shown in above pics). I popped these out with a knife (carefully). Make sure not to lose the small plastic piece that is attached to one of the stubs of each of the vent covers.

Mine was in polish black, but im sure its about the same price. I got it done for $60, including the mounting kit for the headunit

AAAHHH He said BEAVER!!!:D :naughty:

I would take it to a body shop to get done it is well worth the money and it will last alott longer than if you spray it from a spray can.

Thanks MfS, That pic is my engine actually when its "dirty". Its actually much cleaner now...some Simple Green wipes helped.

The beauty of taking your console to the shop is that they can match paints much easier. My bodykit installer gave me 3 hues (shades based on aging in the case) of 3P0 paint (Toyota Absolutely Red) to choose from. The kit, under the hood, in the trunk, and on the center console all match.
