Need Help picking a paint scheme - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

the-parts-guy · 04-16-2005, 02:08 AM

Ok I need some opinions on a paint scheme. I am working on a 70 shortbox for a guy who cannot make up his mind. We are trying to get as many opinions as possible on paint schemes. The colors in the pictures are not very accurate at all...the orange is tangerine pearlcoat (2003 chrysler color) and the other colors are to be determined later after we decide on a design (or solid color). Some of the particulars on the truck are that it has shaved door handles, cowl induction hood, smooth tailgate, lowered 2 and 3, custom made grill inserts, one piece side windows (tinted), rear roll pan, and other than the grill, front bumper and mirrors, there will be no chrome on the outside. Rims are going to be 18s or 20s (not sure about size, but they will be chrome too)

I like 5,7 and 11.

Dean23 · 04-16-2005, 12:32 PM

I like 5 but i would maket the orange follow the upper body line to the back of the truck. tangerine with a nice silver would look good

**Palf70Step** · 04-16-2005, 02:35 PM

The orange and silver two tone would look good. I picked 11, Just not sure about that flame design with the color choices.

*screamin_c102* · 04-16-2005, 03:15 PM

I chose 7 for obvious reasons.

70 shorty · 04-16-2005, 05:40 PM

I like 7 and eleven the best of the choices. I just don't like how those flames are layed out so I wouldn't pick any of them.

Cethern · 04-16-2005, 06:05 PM

I went with 5 and 11..

**Canadian694x4** · 04-16-2005, 06:11 PM

I think I like 7 and 8...voted 7 tho...

byrd · 04-16-2005, 09:37 PM
