Paint - Alternating Two Tone on a suburban

Hi,

My 71 suburban is about to go into paint whoot! I'm thinking about doing an alternating two tone - "color "a" top over color "b" above the upper belt and below the lower side trim with color "a" in the middle - alternating 2-tone"

I'm leaning towards blue 2163 and white or green 2206 and white.

Has this color scheme been used on a suburban? Does anyone have any pictures?

Thank you!

Here's 51 pages of Sweet Suburban goodness that may help with the decision.

Not my thread...but thanks HO455, I've never seen that collection before...and no one has added anything to it since 2014?!

For TUG...I pulled a couple screen shots from the collection as I was unsure of what you were actually describing. I hope it's okay to repost these member's pictures??? All three are slightly different but the last one is mine...and yes, white is a color.

That post is great! Thank you for sharing!

The picture above is what I'm considering. The reason for me considering this is mainly because my paint guy can keep some costs down not going nuts straighten the body and says if we stay with a light color. The idea is the imperfections will be less noticeable. I'm planning on driving the Suburban near daily so I'm focusing more on the minor rust repair it needs and prevention.

Thoughts in this...?
