Re: Ready to paint ! What color poll
1. Black with red is awesome but lots of work
2. Butternut yellow would probably be my choice. Good friend had a 67 ss nova in high school that was a pretty color. 3. Red is cool especially GM torch red 4. Green nice and clean

Re: Ready to paint ! What color poll
I like that light green.
I am extremely against black cars and trucks because they show every spec of dust immediately! Even if kept in a garage if you walk past the truck the paint is a dust magnet. Bill

Re: Ready to paint ! What color poll
I'm pretty biased to green. I think green trucks look way cool. The yellow is pretty good color too. Can't stand black with red interiors. But from a resale stand point maybe might be good if most people like that. But I'd go green first then yellow.

Re: Ready to paint ! What color poll
I vote for Lt green. Maybe even Medium green 518. I am absolutely not biased in any way.

Re: Ready to paint ! What color poll
Grumpy, do you have any finished trucks? I know you have had some in the works the last few years. If so I would like to see some pics.

Re: Ready to paint ! What color poll
I like light green. I don't know what the resale value on a truck that color is, but I really like when I see a truck rolling by in one of those colors you don't see anymore.

Re: Ready to paint ! What color poll
1. Butternut yellow -- you don't see a lot of them, and that pic you posted looks terrific.
2. Light green -- very nice, clean, & classy. 3. Black -- always a standout. 4. Red -- um, no, the other choices are much better imho.

Re: Ready to paint ! What color poll
am partial to green,
I think black would look great if it had that faded, distressed look to it but not so much when fresh, shiny looking. |

Re: Ready to paint ! What color poll
G.O.M.,
Gotta go Green, the color of money... But I'd go with a Camel or tan leather interior. Green/Tan leather goes so well together, a bit classier... different ![]() Yellow/Tan (saddle) for example of Interior color choice, better yet with light green exterior IMO... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=519179 Mike
