Project Red Interior
Well, here I am, at the second stage of my process to transform the interior. I figured, the MINI is Electric Blue, so red would be the best choice. I've got the shift boot, so I started on the dash panels. I think it looks pretty good. In a couple of days, I'll be able to buff them to a good shine.

black: would match the rest of the car's black (dashboards, etc) so that'd be a conservative choice.... a nice semi-gloss black will match the semi-gloss red you have going
red: very in your face, im not a fan of the Blue/Red theme you got going.... but that'd be the design student screaming inside.... that said, it's a extremely sharp contrast... purely from the interior though it'd be another piece to scream out, since you got the dash already, why stop
my 2 cents
and please for the love of god! take off that NOS steering wheel cover....

I can always strip it down and do it again.
Is there a different color that would look
better? This was my first try, so I'll probably
strip it down and try again when the humidity
is down.
What color do you think would look the best?

well... from color scales.... dependent entirely on how you want...
for flow, white, black, and matched hue of blue would all work
a stark contrast would be orange or yellow, both of which would be a strong contrast...
avoid red, pink, any very strong hues (even orange is barely bareable)

We must have extremley different tastes in colors. I'm not saying your wrong, just my opinion.
IMHO, yellow would be the worst color to chose. There are already so many colors that yellow would be overwhelming.
White, every tiny blemish will show. With 4 boys, not a good choice!
Black, well, we didn't want it. We wanted something bright.
Blue, I would never be able to match EB. On top of that, its metallic!
So, I stuck with red. If it was just EB with a white roof, then it wouldn't look right. It would look mis-matched. The red in the UJ roof matches almost perfectly. It all ties together. I'll snap some better pictures once the weather gets better.
My first choice was body colored. So, I would have loved EB, just not the price of having it professionally done. I might try black, as that seems to be the next color in my list. IMO, black is hard to do. Right now I am in the process of painting the downtubes black. Who knows, that might spark an idea, or just might inspire me to paint the dash black.
Hopefully I'll be able to get a good shine out of it in the next few days...

Also, I'm no artist, it would look terrible if I tried to do it myself.

Yes, I do plan on painting the door ovals. I am debating between black or red. I have painted the down tubes black to ease the pop of the red. What ever color I paint the door ovals, I will paint the trim rings the same color.
What color do you think would look the best?
