Another black exterior red interior question.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CG · 11-20-2006, 11:37 PM

I didnt want to steal someone elses thread. Thought it was funny it came up though. My panel is being painted black and my interior is/was? going to be red. Not bright red but a darker red. Ive had three people now tell me it wont look good. Ive always loved black hot rods with red interiors. Am I the only one that thinks this will look good? I really dont want to go black ext with black interior...even though that would be cheaper....thoughts?

Do what you think looks best. I get tons of compliments on my 77 Cheyenne interior color. It's GM Oxblood red. Not a bright red, but close to it...

That looks great. You know sometimes you look at someones ride (what ever it is) and think to yourself...geeze what was that guy thinking? But you can see he is loving it...I was starting to think I was going to be one of those
guys...oblivious to something everyone else thinks is hidious. I think I will PS some interior pics to red to get a better idea.

do that black and red, be bold. do not follow but lead the pack.

Mine's going to be light yellow with a red interior. You should see the looks I get when I tell people that..

Well, I wanted something different.....

black with red allmost allways looks good. just avoid white piping and it will look great. flat red verses shiney would probably be better.

weasel29gm · 11-21-2006, 06:21 AM

Black with red interior always looks good and true hot rod style. Or vice versa, odd colors may be the '' in '' thing. But a black,red, orange or white ride is priceless!!!

obsesive23 · 11-21-2006, 09:34 AM

I've always loved the black and red combo, Do what you want. It'll look great.

Brad · 11-21-2006, 11:14 AM

Not my thing but do what you want- it's your truck!

meathead95 · 11-21-2006, 12:37 PM

i think black and red looks sweet.

texas69truck · 11-21-2006, 12:47 PM

I just got done painting my truck black with a bright red interior and i think it looks great. like everyone else said, its the hot rod stlye, you cant go wrong with that

ghetto_superman · 11-21-2006, 04:12 PM

yes yes it will be sweet. dare to be different!

gouldie · 11-21-2006, 08:51 PM

i'm gonna be going with the red and black on my 67. flat black exterior, bright red seats, but all the metal inside will be gloss black and a bed liner floor.

71chevytruckguy · 11-22-2006, 01:25 AM

my '69 is set up like that, flat black exterior, all meatl parts are stain red inside with the seat, door panels, amr rests, dash pad, glove box, ash tray are satin black. here are come pics, sorry they ain't that good. chris.

cheyenne10 · 11-22-2006, 01:43 AM

I think a shiney black exterior with the stock red interior that our trucks came with would look outstanding. Is your panel a 68? I really like the 68 red (or other color) custom/cst door panels, red visors, and red buddy bucket seats. Maybe accented with black dash pad, blakc seat belts, tilt steering column and black 68 steering wheel with cst horncap. Now I sound like an interior decorator!!

CG · 11-22-2006, 01:54 AM

Hey Bob...or should I call you Martha Stewart...

. Its a 69 with a 68 nose. I wasnt planning on going stock style. More of a 60's pleated look, semi customish. All interior metal will be black. We found some more rust thats gonna need to be replaced. So that pushes back finishing date and Im sure I will change my mind a dozen more times on everything....

weasel29gm · 11-22-2006, 04:52 PM

Chris, thats a good lookin' ride!!!!
