my interior is red, so what color can i paint my car???

i just bought a 87 SC Camaro and its has a white ext. with a red int. the int. looks like new, is was kept in VERY good conition. my question is what colors would look good in a red int.????

i know white "duh" but i was thinking of a different color, i would like a red ext. BUT with a red int.?? wouldn't that be a little to much red? blue wouldn't work

how about black??? that would fit the bill.

what do you guys think?

trust me, you dont want red on red. Thats how mine was from the factory, and it was painful to look at. I just finished changing the interior over to gray. colors that would look good with a red interior in my opinon are, white (duh), black, and silver.

my .02 cents

Mine is black with red interior and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love it. It's the color scheme of the original SS Camaros too if I'm not mistaken. Go with black.

A lot of people do not like red exterior with red interior and either did I until I bought my 92 z28 with red interior and exterior.

Here is the link:

I know it is a lot of red but the all red surprises alot of people and it really impressed me when I first saw my camaro!!!

Black (the best color for a third gen)
Red (looks hot and attracts women and cops)
White (a b***# to keep clean but looks good)
Silver (never looks dirty and looks good in flake)

Blue (Nah)
Gold (maybe if the right shade)
Teal (not with the red interior)

Just my 2 cents
