interior- to paint or not to paint. What would you do?

Hi all. My truck is painted bergundy on the outside and painted black inside. I plan on repainting the exterior white & yellow. Question is, should I paint the inside cab yellow or leave it black? Black is a nutral colour. What should I do?

Problem with leacing it black, it it'll look like an inferior paint job.
I say gut the cab and paint it. You can keep all the apolstry black and it'll look ok.

Thumbs up Paint It!

My son has a " viper yellow" 81 shorty 4x4 stepside. He painted the interior yellow also. Otherwise, I think they look like they've been repainted! Good Luck!!

I'd paint the interior too. You asked for an opinion, I just think these trucks look horrible when the intierior isn't matching the exterior, like they are supposed to be.

I agree, looks a lot better when things match.

IMHO, Paint it.

My suburban has a different inside/outside color and, although it doesn't quite keep me awake at night, it sure does bug me. You'' regret it if you don't.
