seems like the paint ran, i am not too much of a fan of red and like mentioned above, you have black interior, why mess with it. But if it is what you want then its kool. i would try to change the gold paint on the shift lever and the border, it just looks different from everything else

Rep Power: 328 I probably shouldn't post this, as I'd hate to see you ruin even more of your interior pieces, but this should help get off the center console (the one that the shifter is on). It's actually for a MT, but I'd think it's the same, or similar.

Rep Power: 368 Respect for going and doing it yourself man, don't let these other guys get you down. Not a fan of the colour scheme myself, but again, respect for DIYing it.
BUT I am a little worried - looks like some crazy thick coats. I hate to say it, but it looks like you'll be repainting those parts sooner than later, from chipping/peeling.

when i opened up the thread i was positive that your car was red and i was gonna say that the trim pieces look nice.
going to check out your gallery it turns out your car is silver.... and you paint the inside red? so now you have a silver, black and red scheme going on?
thats just horrible and ugly........
its rice because it looks worse then stock

Rep Power: 563 the term 'Rice' is so played out you should all to a man, be ashamed of yourselves for continuing to use it. If you don't like it that's fine but all the flaming is rather bush league if you ask me.
I'm not a fan of the color but good for you for going about it yourself (DIY).

if somethign makes a car look worse then it did before that particular thing was added on then its rice....... thats MY definition of rice.
and that interior looks 10X better before it was painted red.

I plan on repainting it anyway. Because one of my stupid passengers messed it up already.

Rep Power: 368 Ha ha, my gf spilled bubble tea on mine the other night. Held up OK thankfully.
Serious man, sand them all down and start over - nice thin coats this time. I think there are several really good DIY's on this site.
