Color to paint with this interior?
Im in the process of sanding my 86 iroc-z down to metal to paint it. Ive been trying to come up with a color to paint that'll match my interior, but haven't quite made up my mind. What do y'all think?

Re: Color to paint with this interior?
For the outside to match that inside, only 3 colors would come to mind that would match it- black, red and white.

or change the interior to black, since it goes with everything.
goodluck on painting.

Re: Color to paint with this interior?
It looks like the exterior is white. If I was going to choose one of the colors mentioned above, I would go with stock white.

Re: Color to paint with this interior?
A buddy of mine used to have a silver 87' base coupe with red interior. It matched well. I've also seen a silver IROC with red IROC badges. It looked good, but I don't know what color interior it had.

My '86 is red on red, and it goes really well (sans both the interior and exterior being pretty worn out).

Re: Color to paint with this interior?
I would paint it Medium Garnet Red. This is a nice red that reflects jewel like highlights in direct sunlight.

Why don't you marry it then...lol. Just kidding. Picture?

I say go with the stock white. Not many white with red interiors out there, and it will definitely make the interior stick out more (more than the old white lets it stick out now).

-Take care

Re: Color to paint with this interior?
Gunmetal grey would not be a bad choice either, in my opinion.

A red interior pretty much limits your choices to red, or somewhere in the spectrum between black and white. Other colors would just look tacky.

Re: Color to paint with this interior?
It's funny 'cause just yesterday I was talkin to my dad about goin with gunmetal grey. I was cleanin up my wheels and saw the grey. I think it'd look really cool. That's what I'm leanin towards at the moment.

Re: Color to paint with this interior?
White to gunmetal gray is exactly what I did with mine, and it was a great, GREAT decision. I highly recommend you go for it.

Silver or metallic gray always looks fantastic with a red interior. It works for many exotics, so of course it works for thirdgens too.

Wow, that looks really good

Guess what color I'm positive I want to paint my faded red '88 now?

Re: Color to paint with this interior?
Why thank you!

I also have a picture of a gunmetal/red thirdgen in later body style such as yours for further reference. I'm sure it's someone on this forum, I just can't figure out who. Awesome looking car, though... here it is:
