I’d like to do something semi-custom in the interior. My car has all black accents (grille, wheels, spoilers, etc.) so you would have thought I would have went with an all black interior…..
however it was originally a white interior and since my plans have changed over the years I already had a number of white pieces (headliner, sail panels, a-pillars, sunvisors, rear panels). The door panels I have are NOS green ones so I have to use SEM vinyl dye on them no matter what. So I’m at a point where I have to make a decision in order to finish the car. I could either:
1) Buy a new black headliner and sail panels and use the SEM paint on the a-pillars and panels. That’s a bunch of time since I already have the headliner installed but not too expensive.
2) Go with a semi-custom two tone type interior
Since the dash, carpet and package tray are already black the interior is already basically two tone so I’ve been seriously considering that. The Cuda panels have that molded insert that just lends themselves to a two tone. Like Bob did with his awesome Twisted Fish:
My thoughts were painting the panels white with a black insert. Kind of like the ones in this picture (although I don’t like the gloss at all… no offense to whoever’s car this is, I just have a different opinion).
Or I could go black on the outside with the insert white. My thought was the bottom of the door panel gets all the shoe scuffs so it might make more sense to paint that black?
For seats, I’ve been thinking about doing my seats kind of like this picture or with some other sort of white insert (this is the style of seats that I have).
Anyway I’m looking for opinions. What do you guys think of a two tone? Or should I just start over and go all black?
I wish I was better at photoshop because I’d try to mock it up that way.
Thanks,
Travis
