Re: attaching lower door carpet panels
Would the new “black” panels benefit from being shot with primer first, or just shoot with the color ?

And that Saddle trim set. 2 of those pillar trims were new black pieces. The only way you can tell is from the underside of the trim, you can see the black.

Re: attaching lower door carpet panels
took a while to respond to youTKCR but thanks for the info. I think the color in the photo below that you posted is what I'm after but I'm not clear on which year it is. If you can let me know, I'll get a can of the spray from USA1 and try it on my kick panels to see and, if it looks good, I'll get the dash from them finished in the same color. I'm trying to match the outside of the truck better than the 82 Blue but stay with a standard C10 color. This seems to be the best option.
Out of curiosity, do you refinish and sell the trim pieces for around the windows to hold up the headliner? I want to put a set in my truck but I hear the reproduction pieces you get from the suppliers are pretty flimsy so I'm looking at a refurbished set of originals instead. Glenn |

I would just get the trim pieces you need from USA1 Industries, and have them dye them. Those parts are not flimsy. I’ve used them, and they are made just as well as the originals. I’m actually in the process of making color samples out of some extra trim pieces I have. That way people can see the difference in the shades of colors. So far, I have only got the Reds done. I didn’t have any 75-76 Red, but I did alll the others, from 77-87. I just did this today. So I’ll have to do more. One for all the shades of Blues, and Tans. Here’s the one I did today for the reds.

Re: attaching lower door carpet panels
Thanks TKCR. Good to know the USA1 trim pieces are good quality. Everything I see and hear about their product seems to be good and that's why I'm probably going to get their dash. I like the idea of the metal substructure. The only downside is the shipping is a killer (on top of exchange and duty and taxes). Wish they had a local distributor instead but I guess that's how they keep control of their sales and customer service.
My intent is to lighten up the colour of the interior of the truck. I don't like the 82 Blue interior. I put in buckets and a console that were done in an off-white vinyl but they contrast too much with the dark blue so when I replace the dash I want to go to a lighter color for it, match that colour on the door panels and kicks, and put in door inserts and a headliner (and trim) in the off-white vinyl. Since I'm putting the new kicks in soon, I thought I'd try the color on them to make sure it looks good before ordering the dash. Once you have your sample trim piece done with the different blues, I' be very interested in seeing it. Thanks again for the tips on applying the dye. Glenn |
