Biohazard

No major backlash...that's a good thing.
It came down to this: sourcing red paint for the interior would have cost 5 times what I can do in black. Then there's the matter of getting vinyl dye and plastic paint in a matching red. You can get all that in black, right off the shelf. Plus, no waiting for stuff to ship. Run out? Run to the store.

For my driveway resto, it was the right answer.

This week I'll fine sand and respray the dash frame and steering column parts.
