Default opinions on interior?

ok so well ive dyed some of my interior black for a tan/black look, but ive had some overspray on a couple of the tan bits, and also the tan colour isnt as light as i thought it would be. so should i go for the complete black interior(what do i do with the seats and carpet?) or should try to source some ivory bits so it looks more like Scotturnot's ivory?

thanks in advance

The interior looks good so far. From what I can see, all you need to get is a black carpet & for the ivory bits, just SEM coat them with their ivory colored spray. Over time the OEM color begins to dull out leaving those pieces darker than normal.

I say do the combo.. Not ALL black. Too many of them, IMO. Why is there overspray on some parts? Did you not remove the piece from the car before painting?

Mind if I join ya when you do this? I've always been curious about SEM'ing my interior black, but have always been worried about the result. You'd be the prefect test subject for this haha

EDIT: OP, I say leave it the way it is. Dye your carpet black and somewhere down the road re-upholster your seats!

I'd say combo like Scott's interior. I'm not sure, but maybe go with the gloss black. Your interior looks nice, now all you need is just a black carpet and mats to match.

If you're going to stay with the wood trim being that color I would say to go all black, but if you want to go with the ivory combo, that brown wood needs to go away :P

Just my two cents

Are these all dyeable colors? I may go with an all ivory interior. (I wanna get rid of all the Doo-Doo brown)

I think you should do exactly what Scott did to his interior.
