Looks like your paint is applied nicely, so kudo's to you for good prep and application. Sadly, I think that the color choice and the 'lets paint ANYTHING removable' mentality really killed your interior.
Eriksseven, I'm jealous of how clean your interior is. I cant stand the blue interior and prefer black if at all possible however you did a very good job accenting it.

Buy a can of black paint
You have good painting skills. But I strongly suggest you take that skill and paint it back to black. The idea is right, but if it doesn't look like it COULD have come from the factory that way (ie like the suggested black and blue theme), it looks very patched.

Bright interior colors scream ricer.
Bright colors are incredibly hard to use in an interior.
Dark subtle colors are much better.
I think the only bright thing that work inside a car is the Bright red racing seats.
The other part most people miss is that sometime when you paint you remove the texture which makes some piece look like *** OR the texture shows up too much on the bright pieces resulting in *** once again.
Oh yeah. Then there is the part where the interior is gloss free then you have this painted part which doesn't fit the scheme because it's glaring from every angle.
You "may" have been able to get away with a dark naval blue.

Here are a few pic of what I did to my old blue interior:

Eriksseven, I spot S5 door panels on your S4.... were they vinyl dyed black or were they the original black ones? I'm leaning towards them being original since they have the perforated leather inserts.
