Re: need some opinions

I googled orange exterior, grey interior and found a lifted blazer someone had done, it was dove grey interior but looked good, ...... orange muscle cars had black or white interiors for the most part I believe..... darker grey is close enough to black so it will look good......... if you see a newer orange car parked somewhere, maybe look in the interior of that to see how it is done now. if the metal of the interior will be orange and seats,carpet,door panels etc. will be grey I think it will look good. .... if you are going to dark grey all the interior metal I am not sure..... sorry for such a long opinion but I slept really good.

life is good,kent

Re: need some opinions

I think it will look fine, but it will have a newer car look, not that retro vintage look. It's all up to your taste. Many different combos will look good with orange. I could see it in all white, all black, all orange, etc and all would probably look great if done tastefully. I would probably go with all semi-gloss black and black out everything for ease of application and low cost. I usually don't like the interior the same color as the exterior and I prefer that the interior have a softer more upholstered look rather than the painted metal look. My 67 Camaro is Mazda Miata red outside and all beige inside, except the dash area and carpet are black. I am going all black in my truck with red outside.
