Well I fitted in my piano black trim set and I quite like it.

However with my old leather top door trim and walnut ski slope I was thinking of doing something weird/eccentric.

What crazy colour could I dye the leather and paint the ski slope that would semi match black interior in the DB9?

Would be amusing to have something a bit out there.

How about aqua-graphics on the ski slope?

I'm thinking a solid colour as the only way to deal with the leather is by colour dyeing it.

Could go for dark red.

I was thinking more along the lines of the ski slope being the main feature while the leather provided the accents. I'm not sure dark red is as crazy as your original post suggests.

You can't dye leather, at least not at this stage, so you're limited to one of the many paint products available. You can do pretty much anything with a few basic mixing colours and an airbrush so you're not limited to a solid, or indeed a single colour.

This kind of project is limited to your imagination as pretty much anything is possible.
