Gallery β A Bold, Modern Take on a Classic Cabin
The interior of this Cherokee was given a cohesive and contemporary look, with standout detailing and a refined colour palette that balances functionality with flair.
-
Seating
Each seat was reupholstered in Charcoal (ADI-1121) aviation leather, featuring:-
Perforated leather center inserts for breathability
-
Bold red highlight stitching for a sharp contrast
-
Embroidered Piper logos for a touch of authenticity
-
Refurbished frames with fresh paint, new diaphragms, and high-comfort foam cushions
-
-
Sidewall Linings
A multi-material approach added both texture and durability:-
Lower sections in Zimmer (WN-120) cut pile carpet for kick protection
-
Upper panels in Charcoal leather (ADI-1121) with perforated inserts and red stitching to mirror the seat design
-
New plastic vent housings installed and painted to match
-
-
Flooring
Full coverage in Zimmer carpet, precision cut for perfect fit-
Alloy foot mats installed in high-wear areas for long-term protection
-
-
Headlining & Trim
-
Suspended headlining manufactured from light grey brushed fabric (HL-100) for a soft, clean look
-
All plastic paneling was colour-matched and refinished in Titanium Grey
-
The glare shield and dash face were finished in matte black vinyl, bringing visual consistency across the cockpit
-
The result is an interior that feels modern, comfortable, and ready for many more hours in the air. Whether you're restoring a heritage aircraft or customizing a current flyer, Generation Globalβs kits and in-house services offer world-class quality with global aviation certification.
