Looks good. Just hopes it doesn't fade/chip/rub off like most of the other painted interiors I've seen.
How a out doing the center counsole door?

Nahh i didnt do the seats. Was thinking bout it but afraid the pains gonna crack quick from wear. I used a high heat ceramic primer with Brake Caliper paint and 4 coats of regular clear coat. They stand up pretty good. Had the front doors done for a bit and they aint chipped or anything yet. I was thinking bout the console door but it'd kinda stand alone and look awkward. Think ya can photo chop it for me?

Hmm that might work. My console is kinda dinged and scratched up.

I like the look of this alot! Just my .02, I wouldn't do to much more in red on the inside though, might be over powering... But it looks very clean!!
Not putting mine in till tomorrow. Decided to clear it. Depends how much time I have though.

Clear and install shouldnt be too bad. Start tonight, let it bake overnight at home and install in the mornin and it can finish baking inside the car while your at work. Then again you could just drive around without an interior and tell people you lightened the car for the track. I was thinking about doin the lil covers over the cruise control buttons on the steering wheel. A lil skiddish about tryin to take em off with out breaking them tho
