so most of you will know that my whole dash has been sprayed black and the facia is silver. theres also body colour blue highlights above the clock, rear demist button, around the buttons either side of the steering wheel (ie. boot release, petrol cap release and central locking buttons), the needles in the gauges, around the cd player, the ciggie lighter and the centre air vents.
sometimes im just not sure wheather or not i really like it. since i accidently had overspray sue to wind iv got silver specks on the clock. so this got me to thinking, - should i re do the blue above the clock? - or get rid of all the blue and make it all black again? heres a pic so you know what im talking about!!

Don't muck around with blue. Go straight for black.

I think white would look best, but it may look a little odd as you've used silver for the trims. You may have to go silver...
Can't wait to see this next mod done! |

silver, too much contrast with 3 colours, match the silver for sure..
one more thing, how did you paint your vynl trims and the dash, did you use a primer....that black looks wicked
