Re: upholstery time

Re: upholstery time

Black, charcoal, etc are pretty universal and are good at hiding stains and spills.

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do something "universal" in my cab too for upholstery

Re: upholstery time

I went with grey tone interior, matches just about every exterior color, warm or white, primary or pastel, light or dark. I will have green checked fabric accent to match the final paint color I selected.

Re: upholstery time

needs a contrasting color. Silver would like be good, or ? just something to contrast the green. Maybe even a combination of two other colors.

Re: upholstery time

yeah I think I'm starting to lean toward the olive green. few people had suggested a contrast color. I'm going with this pattern tuck roll olive in the middle white on the outside. also was thinking headliner in white tuck and roll and the visors and arm rest the olive green. what ya guys think? its all going to him Wednesday so I have a week to change my mind 5 more times
