Help Me Pick Some Colors!!
So I am building a 67 shorty fleet shop truck... I want to go with a flat color with a gloss roof,grill shell and interior metal.... I like flat black but there are just way to many already... My thoughts are flat gold with a gloss white or black roof/grill...... Flat white with a gloss silver, red or gray roof/grill..... Flat blue with a gloss white or silver roof/grill or flat silver with a gloss white,black or red roof/grill.... Or olive drab green/brown with a white or black roof/grill I am SOOO confused...

Re: Help Me Pick Some Colors!!
I think a flat '68 anniversary gold with a gloss white top would look good.

Re: Help Me Pick Some Colors!!
Yeah, the flat gold with gloss white top would be different. Being that it is a shop truck, you have options. For me, knowing the same work goes into the prep to paint it a flat color, finally led me to deciding on a glossy finish for mine. I was dead-set on a suede black with glossy flames, but decided to go glossy all the way.
My painter dude has plans to paint his Blazer/67/Shortstep hybrid in flat black and add camo flames. It oughta be sweet, huh?

Re: Help Me Pick Some Colors!!
Flat red with gloss grey roof and grille.I doubt you will have to share the color combo with anyone.

Re: Help Me Pick Some Colors!!
They all look good.
Blue on white always looks right. Black and green looks mean. Gold on black is "all that!" With a set of curb feelers and gold wire wheels, it could be pulled off! My vote: Blue on White

Re: Help Me Pick Some Colors!!
I say GOLD for sure.
Black looks unfinished and to me so does the green. And Ive never been big on blue. How would a Yellow or orange look? But that anniversary look is sick |

Re: Help Me Pick Some Colors!!
I'd go with a Hot Rod Flatz Firemist Shade. Make it look like an old custom job

Re: Help Me Pick Some Colors!!
I hope he takes (took) your advise (before you gave it). You made me look like a fool. Well, I guess not. I've looked like this a long time
