'95 Caddy Deville - 2 Fi Qs, Custom Trunk

[CadillacMatt 10+ year member]

Got the wiring done!!! Took me a few hours but I did it right! Found a nice hole in the firewall (thanks for the suggestions guys) and ran the 1/0 and 4ga through the wiring track on the driver's side. I had a problem with the wire fitting into the fuse holder and the battery post, it looked like it was designed for something a little smaller, so I had to snip a little of the wire off to get it to fit (hope that won't hurt anything //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif) Anyways...

PICS!

Nice spot to run it through //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Smaller one for the highs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

And here is some veneer I got ahold of... it was wrapped around a pair of old house speakers that I was planning to throw away and I was like, hey, I could use that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Ok, got the trunk trim taped off and ready to paint at work tomorrow. Gonna lay that veneer where the green tape is //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

What color/type of paint?

What color/type of paint?

See, this is where things get kinda dodgy... my interior is "Light Shale", which is kind of a plain color to me and I wanted to do something "brighter" in the trunk, like an off white hue, something like this:

The leather is a bit darker, this is a piece I got from the back of the armrest (the rest of the leather is lighter due to sun exposure, but still "greyish")

I'm really thinking you're not going to notice it, I mean, I'd love to get the leather re-done but that's not in the budget anytime soon. I want to carpet the box and amp racks in the "lighter" color, be it off-white or whatnot, and carpet the rest of the trunk in forest green to match the paint. I just think it would be a waste to paint it that same blah color.

Suggestions? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Go with your off white idea, especially if you think the other color is blaaahhhh lol

Plus that lighter color is what we are painting a shower at work tomorrow (aircraft shower) it's very high quality DuPont paint, I'll have the painter shoot a couple coats of clear on it too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif.

I dunno, guess you're right, who's going to see the trunk and cabin at the same time anyways? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

^ Exactly, might as well make the trunk how you like it.....then move on to make the interior the way you want down the line.

Great insight, thanks man. I'm wondering how much it would be for an entire interior re-skin... *hmm... rubs chin*
