Re: Lurker OrrieG Progress Pics

Green - My truck originally was the the medium blue, repainted in the 60's to factory dark blue. It came with a white steel front bumper and blue wheels. I kept the white bumper and painted the wheels white. I later found a chrome back bumper. This time I am painting the bumpers and grille the same silver as the interior. I have seen a couple of truck like that and like the look. I was going with a blue color, but have changed to green, lately there have been a bunch of blue trucks showing up in town. First photo is mine, second shows grey on blue, but I think the grey is too dark, third without the pumper shows the shade of silver I will be using. I wish patina would have been "in" I would have just shot mine with a satin clear!
