      Olleme papi' porque lo quieres pintar primer?

      A miu me parece que seria mejor un color neutral, personalmente me gusta el azul royal pero rojo tambien luce bien.

        White hides scuffs, red actually matches the car and could just be an easy touch-up job, and a matte color like primer would get rid of the glare on the rear window that comes with shiny paint and no rear shelf.

          I wouldnt paint the inside to match the outside. what happens when the exterior gets all dinged up and you decided to repaint it another color, you would have to repaint the inside or have mismatched colors. I would go with black, gray, or white.

              Paint it yellow so your car goes faster.

                paint it something that doesnt attract sunlight. ie black.

                semi gloss white should do. minimize the glare!

                    definitely do the engine bay and trunk white, helps when your trying to find shit in a dim pit garage. The interior is all personal preference, mine is silver to sort of match the exterior and i painted the parcel shelf matt black.

                          White can cause a glare in the back window from the rear parcel shelf area. Black will get too hot. I painted mine a dark charcoal color.
