Need some more money so I can actually get something done.

Vote, should I paint my interior black, or leave it the stock blue and black? Black would be sweet, but I'm not sure I want to totally change it from stock. But then again, I've sort of already done that.

Leave it stock. Painting and doing it right is a major PITA!

I'd probably have to repaint the stock stuff anyways though. Some of it is pretty faded and discolored in places.

That's fine though.

I have to be careful with mine so it doesn't get scratched. If you paint blue with old blue underneath it won't be as bad.

I wouldn't change a thing, but I did end up having to add clearcoat on the interior panels to keep them from scratching easily.

Yeah I've always heard changing color is a pita and its dang near impossible to do it right where there is no trace of the old color.

Now as for my old F150 which is a 'copper' (burnt orange), and faded almost to Raptor orange with a bit of compound LOL, I'd probably paint it a brown of some sort. Or not.

I'll have to get some digital mud though. LOL

The only way to change interior color "right" is by getting different color trim and re upholster the seats & door panels. I've heard of tinting, but I've never used or seen it done. Paint will always scratch off, sadly.

That is a really good looking Notch Nathan. Even tho they arent that high on my list(Hatch is top of the list)

Seriously tho have you thought about putting some smoked headlights and taillights on it?? I think it would look really good with them.

I have thought about that, but I think I like the stock ones better. At least for now.
