Exclamation Advice.........

Well im just about getting going with my next project which is a Tamiya Ferrari spyder.
The body is going to be yellow (TS 16) but i've no clues as to what color to paint the interior. Some bits will be semi gloss black & others silver. Could someone please give me some ideas on what color/colors i could paint the seating etc or even send some pix of a spyder interior. Thanks guys.
Later, Mike.

I know this may seem a little ordinary, but I always love to see yellow cars with all-black interiors and maybe some yellow details, like the center of the seats. If you do go with the yellow centers, do it with a darker shade of yellow.

Yes, thought i'd try and avoid the black on this one, most of my interiors are black. Sounds good though what your saying, we'll see !!!
Cheers, Mike.

Hey Chris, just to tell you, I don't think that blue and red and yellow go together that well.

jk man.

Hey, watch it buddy!
Actually the car is a mint green flip to gold paint. It actually looks quite nice, if I do say so myself.

hmm...interesting color scheme. It's good to see things that are different once in a while, i guess.

I was just kidding man, looks like you knew. Anyways, looks really cool. The red and yellow go very nicely.

While most yellow spyders come with the basic black interior, a popular color is blue!

Just another quick question........the air chambers should be red, but since the body will be yellow i thought i'd spray the air chambers yellow too as they will be visible through the glass. What do you guys think ?!?

Cheers, Mike.
