It looks Ok maybe a darker color and like everyone said paint the vents black. The only reason ive never painted my interior is I worry about paint chipping. I give you lots of credit for trying something diffrent.

Just my .02
Yeah, i rarely get that, That is why i am getting new carpet soon. The previous owner lef it out in the sun too long.

The paint is pretty healthy, i tried painting a piece i took off that was broken as a test dummy before i started painting the interior, painted it a year and a half ago with the exact same steps, i scrathed at it and leave it out on the sun in my back yard and the paint is still strong and not fading, so i guess since these painted pieces are inside the car and i ocassionally use her and she is UV protected it will last longer.

couldnt agree with this guy more

they painted an interior on powerblock for a restoration job...those guys know what they're talking about. Duplicolor interior paint are great but nothing is indistructable. Just like if you beat up the stock plastics they will look like S***. Some car manufactures are painting regular plastics from the factory. porsche, dodge, mercedes, and bmw all do it. I know, I work in a body shop.

im not digging it, but A+ on originality. i did this in my last car and it made it look better, but the paint gets nasty over time. it collects dust and looses its shine.

i also agree on the center console and vents. too much paint can look tacky.
