I am restoring a 1980 Pontiac Formula Firebird, I've installed Red interior, but I don't like red on this body style car, It is currently Black, But I'm not liking the straight black look with the red interior. Can any-one suggest good color combonations that look good white Red interior. Thank You for your in-put.

You never mentioned how intense the red is. Is it w really bright red? A burgundy red? Cherry red? The intensity of the red strongly dictates what color you should paint the outside. I would go with a dark color on the out side if the in side is a darker color, and a lighter color if the color inside is brighter. Try to stay a way from the cream colors and browns. Now on to the question, if it where me and I had a darker color red in the car I would go with a dark blue with a to shade brighter color red pin strip down the side to help pop the interior of the car with the pain. If it where a brighter color red I would go with a lighter color blue (Like the one on most windows task bars not the active programs blue but the task bar blue.) and a darker color red pin strip to help dull the interior color. The other option would be to take some picture of the car and scan them in to your computer. Use photo shop to change the color of the car. See what looks good on her. Hope this helps and happy Revving.

Two tone black and silver, not a straight line down the car. Start low in the front (just above the bottom of the front bumper, about 2 4 inches) and raise this line to the spoiler in the back,(at an angle), in between the black and silver put a 2 inch red stripe that runs as a separator of the black and silver. Or do it with out the red stripe.
Best of luck, I sure it will be a great car!!!!

Sounds like an awesome car! Can I have it? lol Why not black with a red racing stripe or something? I really think black would be the best. Or dark silver-grey? I think the red interior limits choices for the exterior, ya know? But whatever color, I'll take it!

Can't imagine why you would put a red interior in that car in the first place. But, since you did, you have no choice but to leave it black and add some red details like stripes as others have suggested.

either metallic Grey , metallic with either pin stripe on the sides,or two wider as you like ,from the hood to the trunk. the pin strips could be black or white or red the only other colors i think that would go with red interior would be Royal blue , forest green , or white some colors have red chips or flakes in the body color.

Sounds like a beautiful car...keep it black but put red racing strips down it to accent the interior

Check out a 96 Grand Sport Corvette. Interesting combo of blue out and optional red in.
Here's a pic.

try a dark purple body and stick some major glossy effects on the paint to complement the red interior- this is just a suggestion- so don't start tracking me down if you don't like it...
