Re: Inside Cab Color? Can't figure out what I want to do...

My original plans were to do the truck in satin black with a white cab roof. The inside of the bed, cab and engine compartment were going to be orange. I then was going to do traditional hot rod flames. I might still do this but haven't committed 100%.

Since I know the cab roof is going to be white, it will go with just about any color I paint the main body, that's the easy part.

I want to paint the inside before doing the outside and the outside color may not be decided until the moment I actually pay for it, I don't want to hold up doing the interior while this happens. I have a set of bucket seats and a repro center console which are black so most any color interior will go with them.

I figure I will make the paint division line at the door gasket. Outside of the door gasket will be body color, inside of them will be interior color. I'm surprised no one has done this type of combo. I know most newer cars/trucks, the interior is a different color then the outside. Doesn't seem to be that big of a stretch doing the same. Sure it's not factory but this truck is not being restored to factory.
