 |
|
My bus is totally nonstandard, but I’m looking for ideas for panel colors that would not make the inside look like a color explosion.
My headliner is gray.
The material around the windows matches the exterior color.
The panels I have to decide on in the picture below are
A- cargo area side panels. Peach seems too much here, but it would match the material around the windows as a stock bus does
B-rear hatch. Seems this should match the color of the long interior panels
C-interior panels. I like the two tone gray panels. But also have easy access to plain white ones.
Thoughts ?

Personally, I quite like the Peach/Grey contrast.
And I think I'd vote for a two tone set in Peach/White on the panels you indicated.
Lovely Bus, excellent build thread thread
Cheers

I would do
rear hatch panel - covered in upper door panel material
Upper corner panels - color to match around window. Either fabric covered or painted.
Lower corners - to match rear hatch, but painted.

Clara, I see you sell those curved corner panels made of wood.
I could get Home Depot to match the peach color easier for wood.
How much for both in bare wood (you can send a PM) shipped to 33455
