Interior colors ~ Help! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys,

I need your help.
It looks like my interior is definitely getting painted before winter. It'll be in the shop in about a month. Now that I have a definite date, I'm starting to second guess my original paint color.

Right now the interior metal is dark brown. My upholstery is dark grey and silver. When finished, I would like my interior to look big and open.

My original thought for color was gun-metal grey which will go well with the upholstery but not so great for reflecting light and making the interior look larger. Now I'm thinking of light grey/silver. I'm having a hard time picturing it. I don't have a good enough picture of my interior to photoshop right now. I'm going to get one later and play with it.

I don't care if it matches the current exterior paint because I will be repainting within a year or two once I have the body work done that I want to do.
I know what color that will be gun metal grey so either silver or gun metal grey for the interior should go well with that.

I've attached a picture but keep in mind that the bench is out of there soon and will be replaced with grey console and seats.

What do you think?

Silver/lt grey
gun metal grey
other
