I normally airbrush the inside flat black, unless the interior color is the same as the exterior.

With each model I normally spray the outside , then I brush-paint the inside, the right colour

It maybe not a thing that can easily be seen, but it's nice to know it 's also made well, and painted in the right colour.

I paint the inside of my models flat black or dark grey with a big brush, because there can not shine through any light.

I spray the interior the appropriate color and tape off the windows from the inside and spray the outside. If you are doing a dark interior and light exterior its a good idea to get a good coat of white primer down inside the body then do the black, this helps to keep the black from showing through the other side and causing ht eoutside color to be darker

I usually only spray the outside, the inside doesn't really need to be colored

Ohh, I do the same thing. I thought he was asking if we paint the inside panels (Like on the inside of the boot and stuff)
