What color?

Need an opinion on what color to paint the trim on the dash that covers the vents and wraps around to the door handles...
Thanks!

I've thought of painting my trim pieces a million times, but I've always stopped because I like how it looks stock ... But that's just me!!!

You can't beat the classic clean look of the way it was meant to be....That's just my opinion though....

Vanilla Rice Rice Baby...

This is what it looked like silver and red:
(the sound system had just been stolen... this is one of my insurance pictures... I did'nt like this look, it really did look too rice...

This is how it looks now (color-wise, since there's a bunch of stuff missing). I think it looks cleaner than the 2-tone, and I find it more interesting to look at than stock when you're in your car all day long... Besides, you can't have a stock colored interior for a show, it's one of the criteria.
(missing: faceplate, ashtray, drawer, shift **** and clock. They were being fixed or re-painted at the time of the pic)

The ladies seem to like it -- I get more compliments on the interior than I do on any of the other (WAY more expensive) stuff on my car...

Hope that helps you make your decision...
