    Thought I would throw this out there. I have an off topic El Camino that I am getting ready to paint. The interior is dark blue. I am thinking a nice satin pearl white would look good but then I come back to blue (but everybody has a blue El Camino :)) I think silver may look good but not sold on it. Black is out.

    So does anyone have any pics of different colored vehicles with dark blue interiors?

    Red and white? Very patriotic but....
    I actually had painted it with orange tinted primer before. I do intend to sell it one day so it would have to appeal to a wider audience lol

    A friend had a 66 El Camino that had the factory light blue interior with a silver exterior. When he started talking about painting it, I didn't think it would look right but it looked great.

    That's pretty close to my blue. Almond and blue look good

    Silver goes well with blue guts.

    One of the most pissed off cars in my high school parking lot was a 70 big block El Camino. You could hear it coming a long ways away with the lumpy idle and turbo mufflers.

    It was Cortez Silver with limo tinted windows, centerlines with skinnies on the front, air shocks and 50's on the back. (Hey, it was the 80's!)



    Go Silver

    Another vote for silver. Or maybe a titanium grey metalic.
