Door jambs, engine bay, under trunk, under hood. There's still a lot more to paint if you do a color change.

I especially wanted this body and interior color because of their combination.
And it's a color you do not see much.....
My previous car (an Honda Accord) was originally dark green, and have completely repaint it in white.
So this time I wanted a color that just had to be repainted.

@shurian: for the whole interior, I used Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner, also for the leather.
