Let's see some gunmetal - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys. I was wondering if anybody's got any pictures of some gunmetal colors. I was toying with the idea on my truck to paint (that'll be a long time, but I'd like to check some options nonetheless) it gunmetal gray, possibly with black racing stripes.

Also, if anybody else has any color schemes, maybe you can throw them out, too. I'd like to do something that's not too particularly stock or common, but not something that's entirely radical and will cost me three arms and five legs to paint. Thanks guys.

hows this

1LoC10 · 08-16-2006, 10:52 PM

I guess this would more silver.. but I like it

redhead69 · 08-17-2006, 12:03 AM

Heres mine during paint

69-350 · 08-17-2006, 12:35 AM

these are great! keep em comin!
and redhead69, you got any more pics of that? that looks really sweet so far.
what I had in mind was a gunmetal gray (darker than silver, for sure)
somewhere on the boards there's a picture of a 69 or 70 I think, gray with black grille and marker lights, I think it was under the thread on driving your trucks to school. I really like that truck. Anyways, keep em comin! thanks!

I will get some more up soon.. still in pcs. Thats my hood in the avatar. The paint is from a 2005 Mazda.. Titanium Metallic Grey.

I think the members name is FirstGen.. hes got a real sweet grey truck thats almost the same color.

It's not the color of the truck yet, but will be soon

I used a base/clear charcoal powder-coat on my work truck's diamond plate & ladder racks.I was going to do the wheels,but chickened out.Photobucket`s under maintainence right now...
Hoowee!!Who stretched this thread allout`n`stuff?

**Stocker** · 08-17-2006, 08:53 AM

Glad I clicked on this thread -- got to see some great trucks in what is pretty much my favorite color for any vehicle!

motocrosschump · 08-17-2006, 09:45 AM

My first paint job, so it isn't the best.

69-350 · 08-17-2006, 09:59 AM

that's pretty nice, mxchump. Not too shabby, I kinda like that. I want to do something like that, and either do a black grille/bumpers thing, or chrome bumpers and leave the grille alone. I think that would look pretty sweet.

meathead95 · 08-18-2006, 08:42 AM

mxchump where did yah get the wheels? thats what i want for my 4x4 project

motocrosschump · 08-18-2006, 03:46 PM

I got them at a Pawn Shop.

anyways, anybody got any more pics? I was thinking a dark color like that, maybe gray or something, metallic, gunmetal or whatnot.

meathead95 · 08-18-2006, 04:12 PM

Laugh hell, I'm jealous

**Boog** · 08-19-2006, 07:03 PM

You know, I remember the Vette's around 1971 had a dark gun metal color available. Not my fav but it was a real nice shade and looked great with chrome trim.
