Need Interior help - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*Piston* · 01-30-2003, 10:30 PM

I'm trying to figure out what interior colors to go with... I'd like your opinion on what I've come up with so far.

I'll be using a 98 Chevy PU Seat *Grey*

Ok so here's the list so far. (keep in mind grey is not availible for everything)

Carpet - Black
Dash pad - Black
Headliner - Black (not availible in grey)
Door panels - Grey
Arm rests - Grey
Lower door cover - Black

The metal inside is Stock GM's Blue. Outside the paint is Blue/White.

What do you guys think about this combo? Something different would look better?
I'm trying to get away with "Store Bought" interior only. I dont want to have to custom make everything for this one.

all black or all grey would look better with the blue IMO, black/grey/blue might be too contrasting... I would just do it all in black... my 2 cents..

Trouble is, they didnt make a 98 seat in black. I'll have to use Grey or have it recovered ($$$$$)

All black with a grey seat and blue paint?

I like the gray better. All you would have to do is find a gray cloth for the head liner and spray it with glue and have the head liner too. Gray is cooler also. I have gray carpet in mine and I like the way it looks.

I think you could spray the headliner gray no problem as this is not a wearable item and is the only thing not available in gray.

Since the headliner is a soft vinyl like the visor's, I may just have them recovered to match the other grey... then that would allow me to make the entire thing Grey inside with the blue paint showing.

Thanks guys

Piston:
Let us know how this comes out. I am in the same spot that you are with wanting that seat in black but it not being available.
I wonder what it would look like. My interior is all black with no headliner, and i have contemplated trying that same seat in grey leather,with heat!!
