Re: upholstery time
now that I look its hard to tell in a picture but the bottom one is a little darker than the photo. I was even thinking of doing black since my carpet is black I seen painterd did black on his turquoise 59 truck and it looks sweet

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
