What is wrong with this color
 

I don't feel like trying to paint the whole truck again. I remember all the sanding that I don't want to go through again. I am talking about the blue truck not the one Luca is sitting in even though it dose kinda look like a VW Bug Convertible.. :lol:

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

Nothing wrong that I can see. Doesn't look too bad honestly. There are better colors for our trucks but as far as the color blue goes that's a fitting shade. I've always loved that shade and the shade that YOLO used on his '63 Chevy. Why?

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

why paint the whole truck??just add graphics,, flames,, pearl ghost flames,,to tone it,, stripes,, pinstripes,,depending on what you want to cover..it's a nice base color,,use it!!

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

I like it, and I've never seen another that exact shade before. So... you can be proud that your truck is different!

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

:agree:

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

i digg that color on your truck

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

I like it too!

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

It acually dose have ghost glames... There are alot of touch ups that need to be done and I was going to paint the upper part of the cab white because I have a fleetside bed with body trim. I don't have that stepside bed anymore. At least I won't have to repaint all the doorjams and stuff.

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

Why you ask? I got a fleetside bed for it, that was original on this truck and I like the fleetside more. I was going to repaint it a differnt color but most of the paint is in real good shape so I am just going to go with it still. I think my friends were talking me out of it, but I am going with it. Now I just have to go repaint the engine and inner fenders.. :lol:

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

I think it looks good, too! I have to agree with bobjob......add to it and have fun with something and dont get involved in a total repaint. It is a ton of work.

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

Yeah just get it color matched and go with it, its a cool looking color imo

If your friends want you to paint it a different color they should be over there helping you do it :lol:

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

:agree:

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

I'd roll it..

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

I don't see nothing wrong with it, nice truck!

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

I like it and will look even better with a fleet side bed

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

:agree: with all of the above...it is a nice blue and will look sweet as a fleet, heck you could even go gray or another color on the top to make it new to you.....my $.02

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

Sometime I think I need my head examined.. :banghead::fry::dohh::lol:

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

I think the color looks good. Nix on the white top though.

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

looks good to me it's pretty close to the color i'm spraying mine tomorrow been sanding on it for over 3 weeks but it is smooth as a baby's ass.i'll post some new pics when i get it done this week.mine is a bahama blue mettalic it's just a little brighter than yours is.:flagw:

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

Considering the photo was obviously taken on an overcast day - not a damn thing.

I dig it!:metal:

Mac. :chevy:

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

I like that color. Can't wait to see it with a fleet bed. How about a pearl white for the top and side trim...with a blue pearl... That would look good...

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

I think I may have seen it....1970 Plymouth GTX....but I like it a lot!!

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

It is acually a GM color. Bright Poly Blue or Bright Blue Met or plain old GM Med Blue. It is in the years from 88 to 91 and the paint code is 4106 and it is in the book.

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

What about the red engine ??

You going for the Earl's fittings look ??

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

Repaint... It is prepped and ready to go.

Re: What is wrong with this color

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

who is this John guy?
he a member here?

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

I knew that ghost picture was somewhere. I knew I wasn't going crazy.. And those flames are down the side of the hood and on top of the doors and on the tops of the fenders.
Joe.. I dont know if you joking or not but I am another John on this site. ... Heck I have been John my whole life.. :lol:

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

:lol:
oops, I didn't know you were one of those "Johns" :lol:

I was thinking, that truck is the same color as Chevy Fleetside's:confused:

those flames are bad-ass!! tell me again, why you were trying to change the color of your truck ;)

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

Temporary Insanity.. :banghead:

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

:haha:

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

These pictures give you an idea of the flames.
I remember people looking in my picture album at the show that I put on the truck. When they got to these pictures they did a double take to find the flames. It took me 6 hours to tape this off.

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

WOW!

so in this pic, it has flames?

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1244387553

that is how the ghost flames are supposed to be....what did you use to paint them, clear pearl?

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

Yes the flames are on in that picture. I used violet pearl in the clear. I sprayed them on to thick and it took alot of sanding to knock them down. I sanded so much my finger tips bled.

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

Awesome!

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

Update... Now my engine is the color I want it. What do you think? I am either going to leave the water pump black or paint it aluminum to match the intake.

Re: What is wrong with this color
 

nice!!!
I like the water pump black...


oooo....and I just noticed the blue inner fenders...very cool!!
