Check out my new color!! What color interior would you go? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

71HUGGER396 · 10-05-2011, 08:45 PM

The color is Toxic Orange, off of the new challenger.I was going to use stock black but I'm thinking maybe a charcoal would look better. What do you think? What about tan?

hugger6933 · 10-05-2011, 08:50 PM

tan and carmel brown would look awesome in there

trkfrk · 10-05-2011, 09:12 PM

Paint looks great... I have always been a fan of tan.

double post

brad_man_72 · 10-05-2011, 09:25 PM

chocolate leather, add some orange or matching diamond tuck suede inserts and panels.
grey with orange stitching and piping would also look good
black with orange and white houndstooth inserts.
oops I think I just made things more complicated. It depends on what look you're going for.
chocolate would be modern/european pro touring.
grey and orange street rod, clean.
black w houndstooth, what should have been in 71, muscle car.
what ride height, wheels, engine, gauges, lights, steering wheel it all has to work together.

Ackattack · 10-05-2011, 09:26 PM

I was thinking tan would look great too

you don't see it a whole lot and looks great imo:

Zoomin · 10-05-2011, 09:51 PM

Tan.

big_al_71 · 10-05-2011, 10:22 PM

I would go black

**71swb4x4** · 10-05-2011, 10:33 PM

I don't think it matters. The Blazer looks awesome, pretty much any of the options mentioned above would look awesome.

Is that orange and white 71/72 a crew cab?

70-Shorty · 10-05-2011, 11:05 PM

i think your original idea is pretty strong....charcoal with some black and orange detailing.
When you gonna paint the rest? I'll bet you're stoked on how its coming out!

X2 on the tan.

fastwillie 696969 · 10-05-2011, 11:56 PM

nice salmon color

bmfm64 · 10-06-2011, 12:08 AM

Black

HeavyD · 10-06-2011, 12:38 AM

Black

CG · 10-06-2011, 12:43 AM

Black or maybe a cream.

**special-K** · 10-06-2011, 05:40 AM

I'm big on saddle,tan,natural tone interiors. My '92 has Lt Beige (tan) and that would look good. But....I think with that sharp looking color that good ole black (which I've also always liked) would look really awesome. One question:OEM interior or custom? The OEM scrolled vinyl in black would be really really nice and your color is just a brightened and lightened shade of the Medium Bronze from factory. With custom stitching I'd lean towards a light brown or tan. Maybe like a ball glove leather...kinda orangish rawhide shade.

mcmlxix · 10-06-2011, 06:53 AM

Ferrari inspiration....

71HUGGER396 · 10-06-2011, 07:52 AM

Thanks for all the nice comments guys. It is supposed to be done be Christmas. The shop has had her for 4 monthes. I have about 1 month to think about the interior. I wanted to see the inside painted before I have to make my choice. I'm using stock seats. The color for the seats might not be factory but I'm going to try to keep the pattern and style close to original.
Yes, that is a crew cab behind the Blazer, it belongs to member 67OLDESTYLE72, It is very nice. I'll try to get pics of it when I'm done at the shop.

PanelDeland · 10-06-2011, 10:21 AM

I'll say to go with the tan.If you happen to run across another in close to the same color of paint it's likely to have a Black interior.Or something in the Highlander orange.You do want it to stand out if not in an entirely different crowd.

oldblue1968chevy · 10-06-2011, 11:28 AM

tan/saddle

doubleb's69 · 10-06-2011, 10:01 PM

Maybe a white and black, or orange and black houndstooth.

**N2TRUX** · 10-06-2011, 11:26 PM

Adobe Red or Peanut-butter.

PHAT TONY · 10-06-2011, 11:56 PM

My orange is a little brighter, but I went with grey leather panels/black carpet & seats, lots of grey paint too though. I think your color would pop against a char/black combo inside.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-07-2011, 12:32 PM

The tan and black look good together or just tan..
