So my Thing will never be show quality (I have 3 boys under 5 years old that love to hit it with their toys) so I am going to do a cheap refresh on it. My question is how bad will it look if I just paint the outside and leave the inside white? I have a local guy who will fix some rust areas and paint the whole car for $800 but dont think hes going to strip the interior down. Also I have black carpet in there as well (Previous owner). Thinking about going with a Mango green or Beryl Green. I basically want the outside to look better (cant stand the old dull white respray, its gets real dirty). Any input would be much appreciated.

The inside of the windshield frame is orange...
Many people who paint their cars don't paint the inside, unless it's a full restoration job. White inside is a lot better, then say if it was blue or something.
Paint it what color you want to... and enjoy it. Drive it. No one will know what the inside looks like, unless the ride it or drive it! |

Make it two tone. One of the colors should be white. Then paint some of the easily accessible portions of the interior the other color (green). Could look pretty good. _________________ Have nice 914, want nice Bug |
