Two Tone Interior

So I took a huge change and did a two tone interior on my car. I painted the middle panels and the upper part of the door a dusty red (best way to describe it) and I painted the center console panel a flat black, which looks almost factory in person. I plan on getting the front seats reupholstered with black up the middle and the same reddish color up the side bolsters.

Thanks...I will say it looks better in person...but whatever color you choose make sure it is a flat finish.... anything more will be too glossy and look tacky... This was my inspiration for the color scheme:



I just wanted something more bold. What color would you guys use?

Honestly, I think it cheapens the look of the interior and decreases the resale value.

I see you edited your post. That Toyota it's done in leather, so it at least looks somewhat classy. You just used paint. Even the Toyota it doesn't look that good...my eyes are all over the place looking at it. Yes this is a real Porsche Panamera and the above reminds me of it:

@moorespeed: Thanks man. How is the navigation coming along?
@exl124 iggyaccord09, and redcoupe: Thanks!
@drowned12: lol I think your getting a little carried away with the porsche comparison, but i respect your opinion
@bigdummy: I used rustoleum painters touch flat paint. I think it is the best quality one and the finish is unbelieveable. It is really important that you use a flat paint. Even the satin finish paints have too much gloss, kinda like wiping your dashboard down with armor all (unless you like that look).

Wish I had balls to paint it, I was thinking of buying whole interior and then painting it so when its resale time it can go back to original

Looks really cool! You should get your armrest the same colored leather. It would look nice and will fix the bubbling.
