Two Tone Paint Schemes
Hi Everyone,
I will eventually paint my truck (or get it painted) after I am finished fixing it up. My truck is a 1972 Chevy C10, and is a base model. It has no trim or anything to separate paint colors. Has anyone painted their truck two tone without trim? Does anyone have the stock paint combinations? Thanks!

Re: Two Tone Paint Schemes
The stock two-tones are Standard,Conventional,and Deluxe.They are all divided with moldings.
Standard:Accent color on top divided by trim at base of top under window at rear of cab. Conventional:Accent color on top (divided as above) and on side below lower molding. Deluxe:Accent on top (divided as above) ,on side between lower and upper moldings,and on tailgate below upper tailgate trim.

Re: Two Tone Paint Schemes
So, would it be weird if I added molding to my truck in order to make it two tone? Do you have any picture examples of Standard, Conventional, or Deluxe?
Thanks Special-K!

Re: Two Tone Paint Schemes
I posted a similar question a little while back and there are some pics of 68s with the 72 two tone paint jobs.
Here's the link to my thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=429765

Re: Two Tone Paint Schemes
No,not at all.What year is your truck?All three schemes weren't available in every year,but can and have been done custom.

Re: Two Tone Paint Schemes
Oh, ok. I might just do that.
I don't want to go completely change the subject on you guys here, but I am also curious about how much drop I should give my truck. From what I've seen, i think a 4/6 drop looks good.

Re: Two Tone Paint Schemes
Trim separating the different colors makes more sense than a solid color with the upper/lower trim...in my opinion. I removed all of the trim from my truck and going back with black. Thinking has run the gamut of emotions from a different color (orange, red, yellow), then I thought about a suede finish, with flames of yellow, orange and red. When the idea sank in, I realized the same prep goes into a flat/suede finish as for a glossy finish, and decided that gloss black w/flames would be right. Now, I'm thinking that gloss black, with a thin red pinstripe from front to back, like originally offered as an option (there's a code for it), would be a good thing.
But, I've seen black/red, black/white and black/yellow 2-tones, although pix of them are not on my computer.

Re: Two Tone Paint Schemes
You could always 2-tone it with no trim like I did with mine:

Re: Two Tone Paint Schemes
I ordered an Astro in '88 that had that style of 2-tone. I prefer the trim on that style of 2-tone, but that's just me.

Re: Two Tone Paint Schemes
Or you could do a simple two-tone like mine.

Re: Two Tone Paint Schemes
Gonna jack the thread a little here but still on topic. I'm thinking of using the ridge that goes under the windows and around the hood as a "break" on color with yellow under and metalic dark gray on top...any opinions...pinstrip? Anybody got any pics of this?

Re: Two Tone Paint Schemes
Not sure what you mean Gad. Like different types of designs or materials?
I know I'll get corrected by the "Brain trust" here, and that's a good thing, but different years had different types of trim and different areas where the trim was placed. Could you use, say, 70 trim on a 67? Sure. I've never seen it.

Re: Two Tone Paint Schemes
Well, aren't there many types of trim? There's the chrome stuff, the wood paneling stuff, the black stuff, etc.
I may be misinformed though...
