Color? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Alright, I got a little more sanding to do and a couple things I need to fix and remove on this thing before I put some of it back together and send it down to the guys at the shop, but....I was gonna purchase the paint soon and was wondering what you guys might think of the colors. They are in the poll. And yes, it is full getting stripped in the interior as well. Bare metal everything...the right way.

What type of color is the Fathom blue? What are you thinking on the interior?

jeffg1010 · 01-25-2012, 03:48 PM

Yeah, ya need some samples. Tough decision!

Stepper86 · 01-25-2012, 04:16 PM

Fathom blue was used on early 70´s Chevelle and Camaro, same with Garnet Red, both nice colors. Audi has a color called Garneth Red that has pearl in it on the new R8.

BabyBlue · 01-25-2012, 04:16 PM

Red Jewel Tintcoat

Cyber Grey Metallic

Fathom Blue

Garnet Red

Interior will get black carpet, the seats will remain saddle until I can get some Tahoe seats or something, but ultimately they will be black. The rear panels are going to be fabbed metal and painted to match, same with the door panels and the dash.

The Red Jewel Tintcoat realy seems to stand out the most regardless of the lighting.

The red jewel is a three stage color, too. I know it isn't listed, but a nice, pearlized silver ( think Mercedes or Lexus) would look sweet, too. Of what you have in the poll, I like the dark blue.

mud.man.rj · 01-25-2012, 04:51 PM

All interesting, but the fathom blue is sweet, looks so deep and like it belongs on a Classic.

silvereagle07 · 01-25-2012, 05:50 PM

I like the Cyber gray from those colors. menace121978 has red jewel tincoat on his truck. It looks killer.

76Charlie · 01-25-2012, 09:06 PM

My truck originally came grey as far as i can tell, and a dark metallic grey sure does look nice on these trucks.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 01-25-2012, 09:36 PM

Trucks gonna look great but I gotta agree I really like the Red Jewel Tintcoat! It just stands out to me and would look good I think

SeanPaintsFlames · 01-25-2012, 09:41 PM

The pearl red is going to be much more expensive than the others. Much more.
The Charcoal gray is very popular. I'd say that about 80% of restomods now are either painted all-black or that color. Think "Eleanor".
The teal on the Camaro was popular in the 80's, but not so much now. The dark red on the other Camaro will look nice, but as soon as you park your truck next to a modern-colored car, it'll be lost.

What about silver? Pearl white? Copper? These are relatively inexpensive colors that don't get their fair share of the custom car market. Also, if you dig the blues, Lexus has a royal blue color on the LFA that is cheap, covers quickly, and pops like a candy.
What color is the interior?

I love that gray metallic. I've seen it on our trucks and it looks amazing.

silvereagle07 · 01-26-2012, 08:45 AM

That Lexus color is sweet!
