Refinished Seats

There was a tech article written about painting seats recently that got me to thinking about how much I despise the bright red interior in the latest black bird. I was wondering what it would look like to paint the center section of the seats and door panels black to try and break up some of the red. Here is the results so far.

Before:

Any thoughts/opinions? :nkhk:

So far I've only painted the one seat. I figured I would see how well I would like it before I went any further. As of right now I think it's a huge improvement.

I am debating on finding a darker shade of red before I go any further. The difference in the shades of red are more noticeable in the picture than they are in petson.

It basically took four cans of paint for that one seat, two cans of black and two cans of red.

I think it's just the fact that there is so much red. In general  I'm not usually a big fan of any kind of red either, so that doesn't help.

Yes, I did repaint the red.

I would love to have some nice leather seats like yours! The two tone scheme is what the factory used on the raven interiors, which is easily my favorite interior, so I was pretty confident that it would look good with the red and black also.

The red paint is a shade lighter than than factory color, it's not that noticeable in person but I will probably get a darker red before I go any further.
