Default Blue paint with black interior? what do you think?

98 cherokee sport, gunmetal blue paint, and its got the half black/ half grey interior.

i HATE the Gray part of the interior (carpet, center console, seats, etc.)

i really want to change the entire interior to black. i did a sample with krylon fusion black satin, and man, it looks factory. my plan is to use that on all grey plastics, and buy fabric dye for the carpet and seats

do you guys like that idea? my lady doesn't, she thinks the black would look bad with the paint. i dont think it would be bad. the dash is already black, ya know?

so what do you guys think?

Doing the same to my 96 sport. Red and black. Centre console and back panels turned out really nice. Just need to do the front

That looks really sharp. Looks like you have a TON more room in the back seat than in my 98.

Or they're WJ leather seats in the back of a two-door and the drivers seat is manipulated to create the illusion of roominess...

But no it's gotta be fake! Seems much more sensible.

Black interior would be nice. Careful to color match though. Might end up painting everything
