Help Me Pick Some Colors!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

c10addict · 11-01-2007, 07:48 AM

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...

Give me your thoughts cause from what I see alot of you guys have the vision!!!

Thanks!

I think a flat '68 anniversary gold with a gloss white top would look good.

ChevLoRay · 11-01-2007, 12:46 PM

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?

BP68 · 11-01-2007, 02:56 PM

I like the flat blue/gloss white

72BlckButy · 11-01-2007, 03:00 PM

Flat gold and gloss black all the way!!!

pcmcobra · 11-01-2007, 04:30 PM

That gold is off the chain!!!
The green on the f bomb is too "institutional"...

67ChevyRedneck · 11-01-2007, 04:38 PM

Flat olive with white roof. There is a fella on here with a flat olive truck and it looks awesome!

ChevLoRay · 11-02-2007, 12:30 PM

That truck is a prime candidate for a set of those camoflage flames I mentioned.....I'm thinkin' it would be unlike anything else on the road...wait, it already is!!

weasel29gm · 11-01-2007, 06:08 PM

Flat red w/ gloss black top!!!

PanelDeland · 11-01-2007, 06:19 PM

Flat red with gloss grey roof and grille.I doubt you will have to share the color combo with anyone.

c10addict · 11-01-2007, 09:46 PM

Look like gold is in the lead.... Keep em coming...

justin4260 · 02-26-2015, 08:59 PM

flat olive drab with gloss black racing stripes

BruthaMan · 02-26-2015, 09:14 PM

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

Nitis · 02-27-2015, 02:24 AM

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

**special-K** · 02-27-2015, 08:37 AM

I'd go with a Hot Rod Flatz Firemist Shade. Make it look like an old custom job
