Default Should I paint my interior?

Just curious on what you guys think about this. I think it adds a nice touch, but it may be different seeing it in real life. The pics aren't mine, I am still debating on whether or not I will paint mine.

I have a friend that painted his interior. It looks great just make sure you do a nice quality job.

im gunna be painting mine, but not with a spray can. HVLP with single stage acrylic enamel in matte black mostly - got it cheap off a friend. might use some foam+fiberglass and/or putty to shape some of the peices to give them more defined looks.

Negative. If you do decide to paint, only do the center console. I think the doors look terrible.

i've seen a couple interiors, if its done right, its awesome. some of the cheapo DIY rattle can jobs look horrid, and once u do it, there's no way to go back unless you get a donor car to rip the parts out of.
