83 GMC SWB 2wd Hot wheels painted
« on: May 28, 2013, 08:14:42 am »
Here is a pic of what I want my pickup to end up looking like.  I borrowed one of my kids' Hotwheels pickups and then used my daughters fingernail polish to paint it.  The truck is lowered more than mine is or will be, but the wheels are close to the ones I want.  The charcoal on the bottom will be a GM color from early 2000s pickups and the blue I haven't fully decided on.

My question is how do I paint the inside?  Do I carry the two tone inside or just pick one of the colors and paint the entire inside?  I think I have asked a similar question, but I did not have the picture to put up.  Let me know what you think.

you can see in my profile pic my paint scheme.

the interior of my truck is the charcoal grey. if you really wanted to you could do both colors but i think it would look better with the charcoal, in the doors jams, dash, etc. IMHO
