Next step is paint baby!

[Nova70]

Soon as summer hits my uncle is going to shoot my truck up but I can't decide what color. I really want to see some good color's before I make a final decision. I was thinking of a dark candy apple red but could be persuaded differently. If you have some pics that you like please post 'em up! If anyone has a color somewhat close to this '57 please please post it up as it's the color I am really leaning towards.--- But ANY color's are welcomed as I'm not dead set. Thanks guys!

Here is said '57-

That's why I was hoping to find a pic. with similar paint. Some vehicle's can pull off a color while another cant.

I love that first color. Any chance you know the color name or code?

In my opinion the dark candy reds remind me to much of gangster lowriders

[aboveall]

yea the first color the dark one is brandy wine candyapple red thats the color im doing my 69 also

Here is mine that i'm building, color is pretty close

[aboveall]

thats a beutifull color im doing my truck same color but im painting the roof mettalic pearl siver and will be highlighting the chevrolet on tailgate in silver and the hood part silver also nice trucks

[ironhill]

It sure is a beautiful color. I threw in a little crystal in a mid coat to set it off alittle more. I'm doing a pearl white roof and the same on the tailgate, but I haven't decided if I'm going to do under the side molding or not its a 68 and I think they look good either way.

Sorry I don't know...took the pics at a local carshow...but I tell you those pics don't do it justice....it looked awesome when the sun shined down on it.

I had a 78 Chevy Step side painted with Ditzler paint.. The paint chip was #333. It's dark maroon with super small gold flake. I'll post a picture when I find it.

Hey VA72C10. That is a planet color - barrett jackson series - spicey merlot. I added a little planet color galaxie crystal in a midcoat to give it a little extra pop. Its a factory packed color so the cost is very reasonable too
