interior paint question

[1983stepside]

im buliding an 83 chevy stepside, thats going to be some shade of blue on the outside, and i wanted to change how the factory would of painted the inside from doing all metal peices in same color as ext, i wanted to paint all metal peices a gray, and do dash pad black, carpet and headliner black, door panels and seat black and gray, i wanted to paint door jams same as ext color, then everything metal from the door weather stripping in, i wanted to do gray, has anyone done this, or seen done, was wondering how well this would look,  thanks for any pics or input

My opinion would be that it might look like a repaint where someone was too lazy to paint the interior. Gotta remember though that it is yours and whatever you choose as long as it looks good to you that is all that really matters.
Good luck with it and post some pictures after so we can see it.

     My personal opinion is along the lines of Thirsty.  I love grey interiors, I think they look the best, but I would paint the metal the outside color and put everything else grey or black as you stated.  (most of the floor and stuff will be covered up, only the dash and door pillars are readily visible).  If you put a headliner in then the dash and under on firewall will be visible most of the time.

ya it was just an idea i was throwing around, in my head, was wanting to be different, but wasnt sure how it would look, because the idea was to match the gray on the spokes of the boss 338 wheels im gonna use, to sort of tie everything together, but ill prob just do the same color as ext what ever that may be lol, one other question, is it possible to put a headliner in a truck that did not come with one from factory? thanks guys

Yep ask capt about it.  He sells the setup I'll be back buying the kit from him

We sell a headliner for those that didn't come with one.

ok capt, do you have a part number handy so i can check it out on the site? i guess i should ask first is it on the site? and with it does it need the trim that would be in a factory headliner install? thanks again

I don't think there is a link to it in the site, but this is it, none of the factory stuff it required for this headliner, it comes with sail panels and will require drilling.  I also want to say that I have NOT seen one of these firsthand.
