Re: Blue with red interior
Years ago there was a 72 in Classic Trucks that was blue with a red interior, I thought the color combo looked great together. It was like an electric blue with bright red guts.

Re: Blue with red interior
I think I remember that truck Chris.
Blue and red are not the usual combos so when we see one it stands out.

Re: Blue with red interior
What you guys think if I did the norm and painted the dash same color as truck would that look right ?

Re: Blue with red interior
The more I look at this the more I like it. Not a combo I thought I would like. In our local salvage there was a 68 colored like this from the factory. I remember looking at the spid and it was a factory bucket seat truck too.

Re: Blue with red interior
Since you're asking for opinions - I'll give you a few in general - have to ask what your truck's overall goal is. Resto? Hot rod? Custom? Stance? I think the combo works well on a custom truck - not so well on a resto, or even one that goes as far as a mild resto mod. To your 2nd question - I wasn't sure if you were referring to the dash itself, the dash pad, or the top of the dash between the pad and windshield. Regardless - I would not add the exterior's blue to the interior. You're gonna feel lie Spider-Man in there. I'd even carpet the lower door panels in red and I'd paint the interior sheet metal a matching red (well... Ok, maybe not that far) - or perhaps that new paint that emulates modern interior panel texture. But in red. It's all or nothing. I think the truck above looks great - and it is custom enough to get away with it. I think the interior needs to be ALL red to really make it work even on a custom. Anyway, my 2 cents only. Can't wait to see what you do! While I DO like the above truck - that's because it's sweet. But I'd like it even more with a blue or parchment interior. I've only ever thought red looked exactly right in red, black, silver, or white trucks. Not sure why either...
