Piper PA-31-325 Navajo C/R – Full Interior Transformation
The Project
This project involved a complete interior refurbishment of a Piper PA-31-325 Navajo C/R. The Generation Global team revitalized the cabin with upgraded seating, refined interior linings, new floor coverings, and a wide array of detailed finishes to deliver a truly fully transformed and cohesive interior.
Interior Design & Materials
Colour Theme & Seating
-
The cabin’s aesthetic centered around a charcoal grey interior theme, which established a sleek and modern look.
-
Seating: Upholstered in charcoal grey leather, the seat design was enhanced with subtle stitchwork. Most stitching matched the leather tone, while navy blue stitching on the inserts added an understated contrast.
-
Curtains were crafted from Geneva charcoal fabric, coordinated perfectly with the seating and armrests for a consistent cabin tone.
Cabinetry & Trim Repairs
-
Lighter-colored high-gloss cabinetry provided contrast to the darker upholstery and included features like a cabin divider and foldaway tray tables.
-
The cabinetry underwent extensive repairs, particularly around worn edges, restoring each component to a like-new finish.
-
All metal fixtures were carefully stripped and refinished with a durable powder coat, ensuring long-lasting protection and an elevated finish.
Walls, Armrests & Ceiling
-
The lower sidewalls were upholstered in a light grey textured fabric, adding dimension and softness to the space.
-
Armrests were wrapped in charcoal grey leather, tying into the seating.
-
Ceiling panels and the rear bulkhead’s upper section were wrapped in Oxford white vinyl, creating a bright, airy feel above the armrest line.
-
The rear bulkhead panel included a feature panel in the same grey textured fabric as the sidewalls, adding visual interest and symmetry.
Flooring & Additional Details
-
The floor was laid with Diva dark charcoal carpet, a smart choice that grounds the space and allows lighter design elements to stand out.
-
As part of the detailed finishing touches, the project also included:
-
Painting of door jambs
-
New door seals
-
Lining of wing lockers
-
Matching passenger cushions
-
Leather-wrapped door chain covers
-
New step tread on the entrance stairs
-
Result
The Piper Navajo C/R cabin now reflects a thoughtful blend of bold modern tones with refined craftsmanship. The charcoal grey theme delivers a sophisticated, contemporary atmosphere, while light upper linings and cabinetry provide contrast and a sense of spaciousness. Every element—from the leather seating to the smallest door seal—was carefully considered and expertly executed to ensure a seamless, luxurious, and durable finish.
