1986 GMC interior color change with pics. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My original interior is a two tone of red and maroon. Which I always hated. The exterior is red and black, what's up with the maroon??

So I started picking away at it. I scored a black headliner, trim pieces and lower door panels a while ago from the pick n pull.

Now it was time to replace the dash with a much less cracked version, and my door panels.

All I have left now is to do the carpet, and the bench.

Old one and interior shot:

Removed:

Scored this replacement, has a couple cracks but nothing major

Applied some SEM Color Coat:

Presto!

Door panels:

SEM Color Coat on the doors, and and fabric pad

Need a new power lock button!

Got to do the kick panels at some point. The sun kind of makes it hard to see the colors in this shot.

Gotta clean that lower door pad now!

I'm quite happy with how it turned out!

All the metal will remain factory red, everything maroon is going black.

I would like to get a two tone bench. It would obviously have to be custom, but that would be the final piece that may be the most expensive.

Looks great! I have been contemplating on doing something with my interior but, not sure what route to go.

Amazing what a little paint and elbow grease can do! Looks so much better now!

That's too funny - I made that same transition myself! (lol)

I ordered my truck with the red/maroon (maroon is "red", right?) and the ladies in my family hated it. When I redid the truck two years ago I went with a black interior.

Looks great.
