Newbie Paint Suggestions - '69 C20
Hi Everyone,
I am trying to come up with a preliminary paint scheme for my truck. I have never painted a vehicle before however I do have access to someone who has and is quite refined. The truck itself is a bit rough and will have some patches here and there. Here's what I am thinking so far in the realm of simplicity and good looks Flat or eggshell black. It seems like this covers a multitude of sins I'm sure it would cover whatever blemishes the truck has when I am done fixing it up. The plan is to paint it black and then have the accent color be blaze green (kawasaki ninja bike). The plastic dip is pretty cheap and supposedly sticks quite well to flat colors. I would paint the wheels and whatever other accent areas (inset "Chevrolet" letters on tailgate, etc). under the hood would also rock green valve covers, air filter, plug wires, etc. So the question... Would this look halfway decent (maybe cool? ) or will it look completely ugly and out of place. Keep in mind that I am 17 and will not be having a pro job done as this is a learning experience for me and I'd rather it be something I did myself. Also the truck will be lifted slightly and I am trying to bring out the mean, beast chevy side vs the classic beauty. To quote a famous line, what say ye? I can take the critique |
