what color to paint interior metal?
 

heres the deal, doing the exterior of my truck black, i want the original style blue interior with it. what color do you think i should paint the interior metal (top and bottom of doors, dash, roof etc...)

i was thinking i was going to pain it all blue but then i was wondering how its going to look with inside doors blue and then somewhere around the door jams its going to go to black? doesnt sound like it would look good.

think i should just paint everything inside black? and have the blue headliner, visors, dash pas, seats, carpet and door panles or would that look funny as well?

I would paint the metal to match the body and keep the blue visors, dash pad, seat, etc.

Runs well... working on body.
Plan to get painted weekend before memorial day weekend.
Planned to be done March 7 when I turned 16. Didn't happen. Chose to do better job and be behind schedule instead of 1/2 doing it and it looking like junk.

trying to picture the light blue 72 interior with a black cab..... might look kinda strange, not sure... my 72 is the original blue paint with the light blue door panels, dash etc... I think it would look a lot better with black if the interior pieces were a darker blue.

I actually did the opposite of what you're doing... I put black interior pieces in place of the light blue door panels, dash pad, etc. and I like it much better...
