Default Accent Color for interior/whole car

Well I have a flint mica and I am painting all of my interior hvac and radio control stuff, and will be adding differnt seat covers and some other different color cloth. I have access to an auto paint shop and someone who's gonna help me. I am painting the parts flint mica the same as in the top picture in the link. I was wondering what you guys/girls would think about painting the silver part pear/metallic white and paint the front grille the same pearl/metallic white. I am also going to add all sorts of cathodes in the inside and vent led's to white. I am also adding white grille cathode's and white underglow. Let me know what you guys think.

I might give that a shot, the only think I was thinking was that the a/c vent dials look good silver on the FM. So you don't think I should try for a metallic white?

nah, not with an FM. I dont think it will mesh well with the rest of the interior.

Well I would like to have a good contrast with FM and I think a white grille and mix of white interior also. This would be a metallic white though.

I think white on FM would look awesome! its always good to see something new, and the contrast would look sweet!
