Killed the Silver

Cruizer · Sep 18, 2013

One of my biggest hang ups on my truck was the interior. First it was the chrome piece around the shifter getting on my nerves, so I painted it black. Then I realized the sliver wasn't any better. So I yanked the whole interior and painted the entire center plus some trim. Just wanted to share my results.

Red. If that is what you like, more power to you.

I think it looks great very nice!

Cruizer · Sep 18, 2013

Red, because that's what color my truck is. Silver didn't match anything on my truck and it was to much light under my sunglasses when driving. That chrome trim around the shifter was a horrible idea. It would just about blind you. Now I want to kill the beige on the pillars and maybe the headliner. I hear the headliner only comes out through the windshield though. I'll get some better pics soon, this was with my phone.

it's definitely different....if i somehow ended up buying that truck, id have to change it. LOL

but what matters, is what YOU like.

Looks good.....I personally would have not chosen red but it does look really good

I think the Red / Black looks great! Tastefully done, not too much (doesn't look Honda'esque)

Thanks for the compliments. I know it's not everyone's thing, but looks great on a red and black truck. Idea is exterior be mostly red with black accents and interior be mostly black with red accents. We'll see how it goes.

Looks good ... not too gaudy and accents interior nicely. I have always considered doing something similar but in black ... to continue black out of truck to interior.

Badass man! Looks great!

Sweet. I like it.

Looks good man. I had done something like that with one of my ricers when I was younger (NOT saying that it looks ricer-ish!), and I agree that the interior color coordination isnt all that great on these trucks. I hate having 3 different colors (4 with the chrome) on the inside. I too am thinking about doing the headliner and the gray parts of the dash, doors and A/B pillars. Please post some pics up if you do decide to do that.

Any chance of an exact write up on how you did it? or some pics? I have driven mine a little over a thousand miles and I'm already thinking about getting rid of that shiny trim. It doesn't look too complicated, but I'd hate to break something....you know how it is. Anyways, my truck is black, so I won't be going red, probably some kind of charcoal or pewter color but I think yours looks good. Well done!
