The ultimate VF interior!

[Fu Manchu]

I’d be using black vinyl and plastic dye rather than acrylic paint.

Get both Satin black and Charcoal grey. Get an a-pillar trim from a wrecker to test with. Do one half the charcoal grey and the other half satin black to see the best match.

$30 for the dye and maybe $15-$20 for the a-pillar trim.

In fact, why not just source a Calais or SS a-pillar trim to use?

^ All that black roof lining; but I thought your ute was an upper spec car?

Holden only did half a job on the upper spec utes and I had to finish it for them!

It's no good on hard plastic, you can flick it off with your fingernail. The dye works on seat vinyl, carpet etc.

Charcoal grey

That's no good either, it's too light grey to match.

All VF A pillar trims are cream, and VE doesn't fit a VF.

Why not trim them in black fabric. I’ve done quite a few over the years.

I did my VP and have done VY and VZ and VE in suede. Good results.
I think I posted them a couple of times too.

Yes, I've done that too with models that have cloth covered A pillar trims to match the B & C pillar trims.

I’ve considered a white hood-lining in my Volvo to make it a bit more airy inside, but it looks a bit strange without white pillar trims … and 2dr c-pillar trims in white don’t seem to ever have been made.

What I like most about dark interiors is the better focus you have on the road and your surroundings. I guess it’s a more subconscious thing.

The crewman used to have a light interior. I found it a positive change when I converted it to black.

I’m currently driving a Ford Endura (or something). Has a light interior. I don’t find it anywhere as nice a place to be. (From a driving perspective)

Dark interior makes it feel nice and cosy.
