I'm asking in this forum because a lot of cup cars have white interiors. Is it true that white interiors look dirty when dirty, or do they hide the dirt(like it does on the exterior)? I'm trying to decide which color to paint my interior(exterior is black) and I can't make up my mind. All opinions are welcome...

yep, it looks dirty when dirty and the dirt hides in every crack and in the seam sealer. You might consider a grey interior with the black exterior.

How often do/did you clean it? I'd imagine if you wiped it down at the end of the day it would remain pretty clean, no? I'm thinking gray might make the car feel like a cave inside.

Wipe it down? Is this a race car? Hell a decent shop vac is all you'll need....

I use quick detailer spray after vacuuming , looks great until the next race : )

Geoffrey

yea, what he said...

It is very tough to "wipe down" all the nooks and crannies in the car in the back, around the rollcage, etc. It isn't something I do with my race car after each day, for sure. Maybe I try once/twice per season.

White is tough to ever make it look clean. Take pictures. It will never be that clean again.

greg- please tell me you realize how lame a white interior on a black car would look!

Greg Smith

I'd call it 'the panda' . I realize it might look a bit weird, but then again it might work. I'm trying to stay away from dark colors because it'll be an oven and I don't like driving a cave. Maybe I should do something crazy like orange?

I painted my interior a light machine grey, not dark and looks cleaner than white

grey or silver >>>>>>>white

I'm reminded of Caddy Shack where Rodney Dangerfield is taking about the hat and sees the Judge wearing it.

Think it looks quite clean and purposeful

But to each their own

yeah but he's talking about a 3-series, not a cup car!
