interior trim colour help
At the moment i am building up my interior, which has the back seat removed and has a fibreglass enclosure for my stereo gear will aslo have custom
door trims, kick panels and centre console all out of fibre glass. Originally i was going to paint all body colour which is going to be a brigh lime
green but i think that it might be a bit to much as well as a lot of work smoothing it out. So i am after some advice on trim options and colours that
would suit the bright green.I have already gone to all the effort to remove all switches,interior light,sunvisors, smoothing out the dash and removing
most of the interior trim clips and holes. I am after a modern, smooth clean look. I aslo have a set of black cobra race seats which i shall probably
have re trimmed to match. I was going to go black but would love something a bit differnt.

hmmm... what colour goes with bright green...
a nice shiny white... but then again that would look too much like the green and white splitty in canberra methinks... time to go something
different.
first of all, this sounds like you're putting a lot of time and money into this bus, but how much do you have to spend on this?
im picturing a bright... lime green is it? if its a lime green then it needs a birhgt, bold colour to match, but not so much that it challenges the
green to a point where it looks dicky. white is the best option.... perhaps a white interior with a light silver for the fibreglass to break it up?
perhaps your best option is to pick out the colours that you DONT want, then pick from the rest.

Well this is now the second time i have built up this car from scratch. the first time i fiited the subaru, painted and fitted out the interior. but i
was never happy wi9th the interior fit out just was not finished off tht well . so this time it shall be everything i want it to be because i am not
doing it again. as i dont have heaps of money to spend i will be spending enough to get it looking the way i want to. I would love to do a full
leather trim out. I di think of the white or maybe a cream just to many options.Yeah the colour that i have chosen is brighter and bit darker than
the cyber green you see on new beetles.

purple does go very well with green  a lavish purple velour would do
nicely on the panels with either white, green or silver fibreglass.
perhaps white leather... but remember white leather is A) expensive and B) not gonna stay white for long! i think white is your best option... if you
want to get tricky, learn how to sew, and do some pimpin diamonds. that way, even if the colour isnt quite right, people will still ogle over the
fantastic pattern that is rarely seen in cars these days.

you have probably chosen and done your interior now but for future reference for other people a
complimentary colour to go with green is red although i personally wouldn,t go with that colour combo
yellow-green compliments red-violet
violet compliments yellow
blue compliments orange
check out a colour wheel pick up a colour and go opposite it to get your complimentary colour or you can choose your colour and pick a split
compliment colour , which would be green, red-viloet and red-orange
if you are wanting a 3 colour scheme then go with the triad formula which in which three colours are equally spaced from each other
which in your case silver bullet would be green, viloet and orange
I think i just confused myself , or you can go with whatever colour you like
