got the wheels covered..the pic shown is the day I brought her home..couldn't wait to get those chrome wheels off (they are for sale

)

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!

BBrendal · 11-15-2012, 12:39 AM

White and tint the tops windows to 20%.

Sillyoldman · 11-15-2012, 12:40 AM

Given the choices I prefer the white. I'd Maybe toy with black too.

v6wells · 11-15-2012, 12:57 AM

i like white too

Ridnhi · 11-15-2012, 01:14 AM

I like the white too.

Jdubs71 · 11-15-2012, 01:51 AM

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

..... like this? I'm gonna try the white top off the Blazer on it pretty soon

notsolo · 11-15-2012, 07:32 AM

I will break the chain (RED) looks great.

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.

thanks man, I agree about the rallies..and I gave $125 for them!

White is the overwhelming winner..I think I will just clean it up good and repaint white.

SACRAMENTO 71 · 11-16-2012, 03:13 PM

I think both look good, but i agree white is the way to go with some tint

jeffg1010 · 11-16-2012, 05:40 PM

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?
