    Is your interior tan or graphite? If graphite, gunmetal won't look too much different. If tan, it will look bad asssss

    Like we mentioned earlier in the thred, a deep grey would look killer.

    it sems funny but go to homedepot or where ever you buy your paint, and get sample cards. Then go compare and check it out.

    Back in the day I had a Grand Am that I did red and silver interior highlights in. I learned the hard way that there are some interior gloss/protectants that are not paint friendly. After a lot of ranting I tried applying a few coats of car wax to the clear and it worked like a charm for keeping them cleaner longer and less finger printy. And to clean and shine them I used pledge. If any you are hesitant becausing of cleaning them or worried about them getting dirty easy, don't be. Just do it and you'll be happy.
