What color to recover my seat in?
I am having a time trying to figure out a color to redo my seat in. I am thinking of doing a med tan in vinyl with a lighter inner.
this is the inside color this is my ext color I have a bench seat that i am recovering i will be using the stock pattern . also what do you think about having flames quilted into the back of the seat instead of the ribs?
My door panals will be wooden like this but not stained just lacquered.

white, blue and the wood color......what to accent.....personaly....i'd make the whole interior white and the lighter color of the unstained wood might go well....flames anywhere are cool ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Gray. Its a nuetral color that would look good with what ever color you decide to go with. That exterior color in that pic is what I am going to paint the interior steel and the body with on my truck, with a gray seat and carpet. Tan on tan does look good for the interior though, If the steel will be tan, go with a tan seat.

I don't know if i have more pics of my blue truck, i could take some of how it looks now, but the restore that i did was ten+ years ago so she has aged pretty bad. hey live and learn, i am going to do the truck a little darker than the color in the pic. just for you info the color i sprayed is called spectra mica blue it is a 85 Toyota truck color. (i don't know if that is how you spell it)

Re: What color to recover my seat in?
If you have any pics of it at all that would be cool. It helps me visualize what mine will look like finishd. For me it was a toss up between the toyota/lexus spectra mica blue, and ford dark blue pearl metallic clearcoat. I decided to go with the ford dark blue pearl, its a little darker than the spectra blue, but with a more noticable pearl and metallic effect. If you go to a ford dealership you can see that color, its on the f-150, fusion, explorer, that I know of, go when you have good sunlight to, it shows off the pearls and metallics good.

Re: What color to recover my seat in?
I'm going to pick up this seat tomorrow. I'm getting it for $100.00 bucks off craigslist. Not sure the exact year but it's out of a late model F250. It has a poorly repaired rip but I can live with that until I have the panel replaced or repaired better.

Re: What color to recover my seat in?
I like those wooden door panels. As a woodworker I have often thought of how to best make a set of wooden panels. Is the Sapele Mahogany?
I like those alot and might try a set this winter

dark blue with lighter tan inserts - forget the flames - cool enough, but really?
