Re: Should I keep the top white or paint it red??
I'm a bit surprised at all the votes for white..thought red might win out!
I'm undecided..can't recall seeing anyone with a red top. The whole rig isn't original with paint anyways (except the top), and they never came with red tops to begin with. The top is in pretty great condition..maybe I should just leave well enough alone! |

Re: Should I keep the top white or paint it red??
Given the choices I prefer the white. I'd Maybe toy with black too.

Can't go wrong with white. It would look good red if the whole blazer was also red.

Re: Should I keep the top white or paint it red??
Red on red is definitely ugly. Way too much red. The only problem I have with white is that everyone has white. I read on here that only 5% of Blazer tops were black. Don't get me wrong, white looks good but it's just cookie cutter to me.

Another vote for white. I would be more in for the red if your K5 was a single color but I think the white looks good with the two tone.

Re: Should I keep the top white or paint it red??
Im a fan of the whole Blazer! But white is probably the route I'd take. Hey, you're in TX... Are you gonna come down to Arlington in June to do some of the Hot Rod Power Tour with us?
