Red trucks / blazers with grey interiors ??

Let's see what you've got. I just painted my Blazer red and it currently has a tan interior but trying to decide if I should change it to black or grey. I live in Wisconsin and our summers can be scorchers! I'm thinking I may not like black once the temps start to hover in the 90-100 range. Oh, and it doesn't have air conditioning. Thanks in advance.

If 90-100 bothers you then you'll probably want to stick with a light color for interior, or at least use cloth instead of skin peeling vinyl

We have a dark charcoal cloth in my wifes camaro, not bad in the Arizona summers here, doesn't burn your skin like vinyl will. The white in my blazer is excellent in the AZ heat, no worries.

Your tans and light greys won't be so bad. I have black vinyl cars here that I really hate to drive in the summers. I end up covering the seats with beach towels to save my skin

I'm for sure getting the seats done in cloth....... just not sure if the grey will be that much better than the black......... never been a big fan of black interiors. Maybe some parts in black and others in grey ???? Not sure how that would look though. I'm replacing the door panels, seat belts, complete carpet kit, dash......... everything.

Red and Tan look great together.

Re: Red trucks / blazers with grey interiors ??

I'm going two tone for now..Went with black carpet and dash & door panels (no door panels yet). My truck is gray and so is the interior steel. I have two gray buckets and console that I'm going to run for a while to see how I like them...If your interior steel parts are red I would think red and black or gray...But then again my wife has to dress me half the time...lol
