Looking for pictures of red interiors.

Looking for pictures of red interiors. Seats, dash, carpet, custom, stock etc. my interior is tan now, but with my next paint color choice I am thinking of changing everything to red on the inside.

Doesn’t have to be a chevy truck either, it will help, but in general just seeing how red looks, wears, holds up over time etc..

Re: Looking for pictures of red interiors.

These aren’t red, but the orange looks good on the one dash, it at least gives me an idea how the red would look.

I’m looking for all red, even red covered dash.

I'll post a pic of a cadi i worked on that had a similiar interior.

Re: Looking for pictures of red interiors.

Here's a shot of a dash and RH door panel that is part of an interior resto in a guys 86K20 pickup I'm helping out with. The factory interior color is called Dark Maple and I estimate 4 cans to restore the interior like new. The original dash was beat up bad-this one in the pic was a factory grey one which I had in my inventory-it'd been scrubbed with a special cleaner that I mix to aid in 100% degreasing the surface and removing small zits and blips in the vinyl before beginning the dyeing process. What you see is a dash that has had 12 very light coats and is allowed to "cure" for 30 days before even touching it to let the paint solvents evaporate out. I suggested the 88-91 Suburban Silverado dash emblem instead of the original one-gives the dash a more modern yet stock look. The door panel you see as well as the rest of the trucks interior plastic/trim will get a treatment too so all the trim has a uniform appearance to it. I'm gonna handle all the pre-cut door insulation sound deadening (I cut them myslef) and aid in the stereo upgrade and new carpet, headliner install, etc. Anyway, I really like the factory look of Dark Maple.

I wish the door panels matched better, oh well.
