Colour Combo - Need Help

Hi:

This weekend i converted my dingy old blue interior to black... used vinyl paint, looks abosolutely awsome. removing the dash was a b*th! New black carpet coming as well.

My car is White outside, with now a black interior.

Im getting my leather seats re-done to look like this picure - notice the while 2 tone... I think it looks sharp....

The doors will have some 2 tone white as well.

Should i paint some dash pieces white also?
- my thoughts are the vent grills and the plastic around the idiot lights.

Thanks for all of your opinions!

I am also considering changing blue interior to black in white 1988 FC NA.

Please provide info:

1. Where purchased and price of leather seats.
2. Name of black vinyl paint
3. Where and cost of carpet - is it pre-molded.

Recommend not painting white accents on dash trim as result might be too much.

I knew your were Canadian, you guys always spell stuff different like colour, centre, ect. Theres nothing wrong with but I had to say it. I live in Vermont so we get lot of that from the quebecians. But back to the question those seat look cool they should match. This is my interior, hated it before cos there was TOO much of the red so I use interior paint to put some black into it like the vents a other stuff.

not trying to be a dick but white was a bad choice. My dad had a old caddy with white leather and it looked great except where the driver and passangers rear end was. That turns brown from dust, dirt and other things your pants pick up on a daily basis. Just something to think about before you have 4k into the seats.
