Default Exterior matching interior.

I currently have a two tone Mettalic grey on Dark Grey exterior on my 81 C3. In about a year (after ive saved up enough dough) Im getting the car completely repainted. I have a grey interior but was wondering if it would match a black exterior at all. I saw someones vette on this site (don't remember whos) but it was black with chromed out trim and im looking to put that look on my car with a set of side pipes. I just hope it matches a grey interior

Yes, that would work very well, also silver &/or dk. grey metallic pinstripes would work very well on the black w/ your combo.

I've had three black cars with gray interior (Supra, Toronado, Pontiac 6000) they all looked great!

I say go for it, especially if you get the sidepipes. Black + sidepipes =
