Sidewalls

Ceiling and Headlining

White Vinyl Headlining: The headlining was made from a white vinyl (ghost) material, creating a bright and open feel in the cabin.

Plastics and Trim: The plastics and ceiling trims were painted to match the white headlining, ensuring a seamless and polished look throughout the cabin.
Flooring

Black City Carpeting: The aircraft's flooring was finished with Black City carpeting, which provided a sophisticated foundation for the rest of the interior, subtly contrasting with the rest of the black and white theme.
Instrument Panel and Glareshield

Black Instrument Panel: The instrument panel was painted black, maintaining the sleek look of the aircraft's interior.
