opinions on interior paint - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**kev2809** · 01-23-2012, 11:25 PM

hey guys, im about to tackle painting my interior before doing my body work.

ive got the interior about 95% sanded and ready for primer. i should be shooting it this weekend. i picked up a quart of the one stage massey ferguson red from tsc..im thinking of shooting the entire interior red, or maybe just the dash red. looking to get opinions.

outside truck will be gloss black...

Ive seen several trucks that are black exterior and have an all red interior, sheet metal and upholstery and I think it looks pretty good.

For my panel it has all black metal inside and out. Interior fabric and carpets will all be red, including dash pad.

**kev2809** · 01-23-2012, 11:28 PM

ya, ive looked at a few and i think its something different. i like the way the red pops from the inside. if i do all red, i will run black door panels and a black dash pad. i really dont like the all red door panels and such...black dash and red pad with red interior (black door panels) would also look good..

Black truck with red interior would look cool. I'm kinda into all the options you mentioned to be truthful. Sorry, no help here! lol, cheers, Pat

I just shot my interior a month or so back and if there is one bit of advise I can give its good lighting. If you cant see how its flowing out while you spray it it WILL be orange peely or run.

**kev2809** · 01-26-2012, 07:02 AM

ya, i kinda learned that last night lol. i taped everything up during the day just to shoot the dash and got caught up with some things so i didnt get to shoot it til around 8 or so. i had a light inside the truck but i couldnt really see 100%

It sure is hard to beat a black with red interior

shawno72 · 01-26-2012, 01:49 PM
