color opinions
 
Trucks at the body shop. Havnt picked a color code yet...
Whats the thought of modern colors on old cars.
Im really liking lazer blue from a mini cooper or
09 surf blue from dodge...

Or a old school marina blue from a late 60's corvette.

what year truck? stock wheels or high polished or chrome aftermarket? 2 wheel or 4x4? im in the same boat as you. i have an 85 shortbed 4x4 im redoing. im 99% sure im going white with black interior. it looks great and period correct. i love silver though. it makes any car or truck look good standing still. if you like blues, i like light quasar blue metallic of of a 93-94 chevy truck. awesome color. any blue you picked would look good imo. any pics?

Im kinda partial to the Marina Blue, especially since its a factory GM color. But Indigo Blue is my favorite. Thats the dark pearl blue that came on the 90s c/k trucks.

Looks good man. I still need to go by your place sometime and check out your truck. That dash looks so good in there man. Looks like your work is paying off.

No trim except the tailgate band. It may get some kinda stripe.
