Re: Interior Color
I like stock colors, but tend to go in "my own direction" on paint and upholstery.
With RAT, I had a similar situation. I wanted top go "Black Cherry" (there are a million colors named "Black Cherry"). But, it came time to do the interior of the cab and firewall and engine compartment. I hadn't found the right "Black Cherry". But I found some somewhat inexpensive one-step Kirker Black Cherry online. I painted the interior and firewall and front inner wheel wells and fenders with the Kirker. Not really thinking...So, I was stuck. I like saddle and black. But I had a set of gray leather buckets. And I was offered a brand new bench seat in gray, too. Since it looked like gray would be a reasonable fit...I was off to the races. Then I found the good Black Cherry for the exterior. But, I couldn't afford six million dollars for the material, and another four million for the labor. Now, I had gray. Gray carpet. Gray seats, gray headliner. Gray door panels. Gray kick panels out of a $20 carpet remnant from Big Lots. I COULD actually afford the primer/color/clear for the silver. And The Boss was paying. She liked the 792 color code. So, as much as Black Cherry four stage exterior and interior (dash, etc.) paint, and a dark parchment/cream upholstery would be my first choice, here's where I ended up. And, here's where I'll have to stay.
