Title: Interior color scheme ideas
Post by: Draekon on March 02, 2011, 02:46:13 AM
Most of my interior is faded due to sun exposure and age, so I'm trying to decide on how to color everything.  The car has a stock blue interior, but I'm thinking of going with a two tone color scheme.  Heres what I had in mind:

And then just to see what it looked like, I did green and black.  I love the color combo, but I don't think its right for this car.  Maybe one day...

I like the blue, what would you use to color the door panels and so forth?

I believe your thinking of a Drake, but very similar sounding.  Draekon is just an internet alias I've used for years and years now.  It doesnt have much meaning, just habit.

I think the blue looks best.  I was thinking about doing a roll on bed liner in mine.  I'll take out all the faded carpet and put that stuff in.  It'll make it louder, but it'll make cleanup a lot easier.

You should consider laying down some liquid sound deadening first, and then the bed liner on top of that.  The sound deadener should help quiet things down and if you use the liquid stuff, the bed liner should still be able to bond with it (I think).

im with jayramb. BIG BAD BLUE EAGLE!!!! the door pannel might be easy to do, just find your blue material. take out that section of old, and put in the new blue. (maybe because i do some sewing ect and made seatcovers and door pannels it seems easier to me) if your door pannels are black now, you CANT get them a lighter color. unless there is something out there that will make the stuff white first, then you can take it to blue. that blue color really does look great. the green....  eh, that makes me almost want to get green to the face... lol. (i hate green myself anyway) are you repainting the outside also?? that blue/black would look cool if you did that same shade of blue on the outside, with the black sport trim. ;) then call it the big bad blue bird.....

I would love to repaint the outside also, but I won't have the money for that anytime soon.  And if I do get a nice sum of money that I can spend on my eagle, I'll probably upgrade the powertrain before repainting the exterior.
The interior is blue currently, and a light shade at that, so recoloring them shouldn't be too difficult.

I've always been curious on how to make door panels and seat coverings.  How do they get the creases/lines in them?
