Paint Scheme ideas for Slammed67's truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Zumo · 06-03-2003, 11:31 AM

Slammed67 asked me to make a few "PhotoChops" from his truck with a scheme he has in mind.

Original Image:

1. Turquoise with white top:

2. Two Tone:

3. Two Tone with white above fender:

Which one do you like better?

**1971Stepside** · 06-03-2003, 11:35 AM

I like one, but three does look very cool. Can we see one with the bottom scheme of number 3 and the top not in white?

He'll never get it painted anyway!! LOL

Slammed67 · 06-03-2003, 11:36 AM

Thanks for "painting" those for me!

I think I like the first one with just the top white. The other two look too busy.

Hey now! It WILL be painted by September at the latest! Mark my words! I just need to stop playing with the suspension

*Shane* · 06-03-2003, 11:47 AM

I like the first one too. But the third one would look really cool if ya still had the side trim on.

**CPNE** · 06-03-2003, 11:48 AM

I agree on #1, but I don't care for the shading change in the "aqua" part of the body. It gives it a 60-66 "pinched beltline" look and detracts from the 67-72 lines IMO. I do like the color though.

Yeah, that one accentuates your reverse-top-chop.

Uh, that's supposed to be the "Gloss" effect I attempted.

Here's how it looks with out it. The "Suede" look.

Sorry

, my mistake

dmurphy68 · 06-03-2003, 12:30 PM

There are a couple of ways to keep the image size. Are you using Photoshop? If so, you can lower the jpeg quality when you save it so the file size won't be so large. It won't be as clear but it will still look good and keep the visual size. Then you should be able to upload the larger image.

I use that sometimes. The way I am keeping them high quality is by hosting them on my web site and just image linking them and not "attaching" them to the post.

dmurphy68 · 06-03-2003, 12:52 PM

ok thanks man, there is alot to learn in photoshop some day i may be good at it lol
thanks

72shadetree · 06-03-2003, 01:21 PM

dinnut · 06-03-2003, 01:41 PM

Liftedassdodge · 06-03-2003, 01:42 PM

Dropt72Shortbed · 06-03-2003, 01:46 PM

i like #1 best, #3 second. dont like number 2, if youre gonna go two tonna you gotta have the lower color follow the lines up over the wheel wells

dinnut · 06-03-2003, 02:06 PM

last post i saw said to do this

dinnut · 06-03-2003, 02:23 PM

orange with red flames!

**Yukon Jack** · 06-03-2003, 02:25 PM

That first pic is a knockout!

>X< · 06-03-2003, 02:30 PM

#1 is the best looking imho but i would like solid turquoise best i think, the only two tone i like is the red/white. but its yours so do what you want

Slammed67 · 06-03-2003, 02:39 PM

Yeah, ZUMO.... I'd like to see solid turquoise also (when you get a chance).

F.Y.I. - the interior and firewall are already painted turquoise, so that is the color I'm sticking with.

dinnut · 06-03-2003, 02:45 PM

but black and red looks so good on your truck! oh well... good luck with the paint.

Zumo · 06-03-2003, 02:51 PM

**poof!**
