Ok so im working on a 77 c10 short box square body

full resto from the ground up

we finished all the body work got everything good 2 go

started the painting process

the outside of the cab, bed and front fenders = white

the inside of the cab = black

the inside of the bed will be rhino lined

windows will be at my states legal limit of tint

pretty much everything inside the cab will be black besides the seats and a few chrome details. the door panels will be repainted black

the door jams were painted white.




so my question is should the inside of the doors be white or black?






any info will be of great help as we are currently at a stand still tell we can figure this out, I am doing all the painting myself

youre the one painting it, thats up to you

for ease of painting i would do the entire door white and the entire inside of the cab black


but if you want it to match "inside" vs outside then the doors on the inside "should" be black too

just more work to do it that way

i stressed on the painting process for a month previous.. But now that its all done id have to say the body work was the cause.

the painting wasnt at all that bad and i did enjoy it.. and thats saying something with this project so far haha

I asked a bunch of car guys young and old at work about this and they all pretty much had the same response.



thanks for the input!


*edit*

Some of the pics are outa sequence i forget to take them so most are extremely blurry or large and idk why lol
