Red with Black or Black with Red? Post Pics Please - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Guys,My Son (Tripp) and I are trying to decide what color to paint our Factory 2wd Blazer project-
It was "Light Red" (#514 or 7004) from the General, with black interior.

I like that look, but I also like Black trucks with bright red interior and red carpeting. Black seats get blistering hot in the sun with the top off!

Anyone have nice pics of both these color combos they could post up?

Black paint is cheaper and doesn't fade like red does, but red is great also.
Maybe I should start a poll!

Truck will have TTO's and the chassis is set up like our '67 (drop spindles and 5" springs in the rear)
thanks!

A big factor in deciding should be the ability of the truck to show off a black paint job. If the panels have questionable lines, less than straight, perhaps red would be a better option.
I'm probably one of the rare individuals who isn't a fan of red, but I'd choose it over rippled black.
Yes...red with black interior is very sharp. If you check out a recent thread on hound's tooth upholstery you'll see a black seat with red/black fabric insert. Very sharp indeed.
