There was a tech article written about painting seats recently that got me to thinking about how much I despise the bright red interior in the latest black bird. I was wondering what it would look like to paint the center section of the seats and door panels black to try and break up some of the red. Here is the results so far.

Any thoughts/opinions? :nkhk:
i really like the red interior.....
but that looks real nice.
have you repainted the red aswell?
Those look great ... but am I the only person on this forum that loves the Porno Red interior ?
There is not way those are the same seats! They look too good. Good job.
Hypostang, yes you are. The Porno red looks like hell, imho.
half the reason i got my car was because it had the red interior :D
agreed.. if i ever wind up with a car that has a red interior, i'm literally burning it.. i hate red
I love my porno red interior in my cat! brownchickenbrowncow :ies:
wth? don't you mean bow chicka bow bow?
So far I've only painted the one seat. I figured I would see how well I would like it before I went any further. As of right now I think it's a huge improvement.
I am debating on finding a darker shade of red before I go any further. The difference in the shades of red are more noticeable in the picture than they are in petson.
It basically took four cans of paint for that one seat, two cans of black and two cans of red.
I think it's just the fact that there is so much red. In general I'm not usually a big fan of any kind of red either, so that doesn't help.
Yes, I did repaint the red.
you guys are crazy,
the porno red seats are awesome!!!!
Nice Job!
That looks shagy!
I like the design but the red is a little bright,
Looks like the seats in my bird.

I would love to have some nice leather seats like yours! The two tone scheme is what the factory used on the raven interiors, which is easily my favorite interior, so I was pretty confident that it would look good with the red and black also.
The red paint is a shade lighter than than factory color, it's not that noticeable in person but I will probably get a darker red before I go any further.
Those were refinished when I bought the car and have held up so far, I like the two tone also, my door panels are done the same way with Silver inset above the arm rest
i'm beginning to wonder how well silver will cover blue.. the interior in my new tc is all blue and it looks a little bland to me.. anyone ever done a light color over dark like that?
I think silver would cover with less bleed through than white.
Take a picture of your interior and work it up in Photoshop. Here is my photoshopped version of my car. http://i1224.photobucket.com/albums/ee367/T-BirdX3/interiorRear.jpg At least then you'll have an idea of what it'll look like.
well i know what it'll look like lol it's look like the interior in my black car.. i'm just wondering how well it would cover the blue, beings it's a darker color
i think it looks really good...although I prefer black-n-grey.
I agree. When I had my front & rear inserts done in charcoal it made a world of difference. The red just needed to be broken up a little.
I love the red interiors. Its the blue ones that I can't stand lol
That seat actually looks pretty cool btw
